Merlin engined PR Spitfires were the mainstay of RAF and USAAF single engine aerial reconnaissance forces for the duration of the Second World War. Other types, such as the Mustang, Hurricane and Typhoon, were either replaced with Spitfires as soon as possible or proved unsuitable in the role. This Classic Warbirds covers PR type designations and the interior details of Merlin engined Photo Reconnaissance Spitfires. Photos, maintenance manual illustrations and scale drawings created specifically for this book are included. Additional color scheme illustrations are included with modelers and aviation enthusiasts in mind.

From D-Day to Berlin” is a revised and expanded reprint of Classic Warbirds No.5. Most of the new material is Luftwaffe ‘broken eagle’ photos from 1945 and an RAF Beaufighter story with previously unpublished photos from private collections. Stories from mid-1944 until the post war occupation force are included. Where possible each chapter is based on interviews with individuals who were there. We have endeavored to avoid repeating, "potted histories" of various air battles.For the fighter squadrons of the RAF's Second Tactical Air Force and the USAAF 8th and 9th Air Forces this period was particularly intense. From supporting the Normandy invasion itself and later encountering increased Luftwaffe opposition as the air war was fought increasingly over German soil. Add to this the increasing sophistication and sheer magnitude of the 8th Air Force strategic daytime bombing campaign over the Third Reich. From these campaigns come the content of this book and a wealth of material for modelers and aviation enthusiasts alike.Where possible each chapter is from the perspective of individuals who were there. Each story is illustrated with many photos; including coverage of other squadrons involved in particular campaigns. Most are published for the first time and are from privateREVIEWS ...contains a wealth of information for modellers as well as some excellent reading material for the browser, and with over 100 black and white photos and nearly forty color, there is plenty here for everyoneScale Aviation Modeler International

<p>Until about 100 million years ago, New Zealand lay on the Pacific-facing edge of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana; the formation of our sedimentary rocks provides a fascinating view of the tectonic activity and changes since that time. This volume is the culmination of a comprehensive survey of New Zealand's Cretaceous-Cenozoic strata, begun in 1978, and presents an up-to-date synthesis and interpretation of regional sedimentary information from a variety of sources; the study has been expanded to include large areas of the continental shelf and beyond. Extensive references and indexing complete this essential work, a key resource for students, professional geologists and enthusiastic amateurs. Topics covered include: * sedimentary basins during the Cretaceous continental margin break-up; * the active tectonics of a 'passive margin'; * Late Cenozoic sedimentary basins in a new, evolving plate boundary; * eustatic sea-level change in an active tectonic setting; * basin scale and facies change on the new and thin continent Zealandia.</p>
