Containing more than 500 photographs, many of them appearing in print for the first time, British Aircraft at War, 1939-45 is a unique record of all known types of aeroplane of British origin that saw military service during the Second World War. They range from the smallest light aircraft impressed into military use, through the heavy bombers that helped defeat the Axis powers, to the experimental aeroplanes that were tried and tested during those dark years. The extensive number of entries contain a host of data and information on each type not found previously in one publication. Author Gordon Swanborough, one of the world's most respected and knowledgeable aviation writers, has compiled this comprehensive review which covers more than 260 different types of British aircraft. First flight dates, production quantities, mark number variations, dates of service, areas of use, etc, are all included to produce one of the foremost records on wartime aircraft for reference and research. 123 Pages, Black and White
