    The Golden Age of the RAF, the period between the wars, produced a series of elegant and highly nimble biplane fighter aircraft that laid down the foundation for the world famous Spitfire and Hurricane fighters of World War II. This reference source uses a series of articles run over the previous two years in Aeroplane Monthly as a base to describe the British fighter aircraft of this highly colourful period. It profiles all ten fighter types that entered service in Britain in the 20 years between the wars, detailing both the types' service history and full technical development and specification.

    On Silver Wings

  • Spitfire Flying Legend

    As much a national hero as Wellington, Nelson or Montgomery, the Supermarine Spitfire has become the most recognisable icon of World War 2 for several generations of Britons. From the throaty growl of its Rolls-Royce Merlin or Griffon, to its beautifully tapered elliptical wings, the Spitfire is a true aeronautical thoroughbred. Regarded by many as the saviour of the Sceptred Isle 'in its darkest hour', the Spitfire is without a doubt the most famous combat aircraft the world has ever seen. The year 2000 celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire’s ‘finest hour’. This lavishly illustrated volume makes a stunning pictorial tribute to the airworthy survivors of today.
