SQUADRONS! No.07: The Supermarine Spitfire F.21

S-07-PAGE

The Spitfire F.21 was the last Spitfire mark to be introduced into service before the end of WW2. It belongs to what we usually call the third generation of the Spitfire, and the F.21 was the first, preceding the F.22 and F.24; however, the F.21 is generally seen as being an interim mark only. This study of 28 pages, 29 photos and 5 colour profiles, gives the details of the career of the F.21, during and after the war.

SQUADRONS! No.04: The Boeing Fortress Mk. I

The full story of the Fortress Mk.I is here told, an experiment led by the British under the secret supervision of the Americans. Many things were learned by the British who eventually discarded the four-engined American bomber in the day bombing role. However the Americans aware of the shortcomings of the Fortress decided to ignore these lessons and went into war a couple of months later with no change in their strategy, a bloody mistake.

30 pages, 30 photos, two colour profiles. It is a revised edition of the Allied Wings 7, with new photographs and new material.

SQUADRONS! No.01: The Supermarine Spitfire Mk VI

S-01

The Spitfire Mk.VI is probably the less known fighter variant of this famous British fighter, and was disliked by most of the pilots who flew it.However, dispite this, the Mk.VI did the job the pilots asked the Mk.VI to do, and even if the association with the 616 has been a disaster, the association with the 124 hasn’t been that bad, far to be. This study of 32 pages, (plus two printable posters) is detailing the true story of the Mark, with new and unpublished material.
