‘RAF Trainers Volume 1’ offers over 70 pages of profiles and 4-views of the bright and often gaudy color schemes and markings applied to RAF aircraft used in the Training Role from the end of World War One and the creation of the RAF in April 1918 until the end of World War Two in May 1945. The aircraft types and numbers used in the training role during these years was vast, and color schemes just as eclectic, making for a unique and fascinating reference source for modelers and aviation enthusiasts alike. Volume 2, already being researched and worked upon, is planned for 2013, and will continue the theme, from the immediate postwar era in 1945, with the introduction of jet-engine types, right up to the aircraft types used today.

Military

The Harrier is amongst the most recognized and loved postwar British-designed military aircraft ever produced, and this book, the first of two volumes dealing with the type, covers the color schemes and markings applied to the design from the prototype and development P.1127/Kestrel airframes of the early 1960s and in to its service use with the RAF as the GR.1/GR.3 and T.2/T.4, the Fleet Air Arm as the Sea Harrier FRS.1 and the upgraded F/A.2, US Marine Corps AV-8A, Spanish Navy ‘Matador’, Indian Navy FRS.51 and Thai Navy navalized Harriers. Coverage of the original ‘tin wing’ versions is taken right up to 2000 with hundreds of full color profiles and 4-views, with detailed and informative captions.

Europe

Featuring a huge range and eclectic mix of aircraft types including virtually all those that were operated by the RAF from the end of World War 2 until the end of the 1970s, when the RAF was tasked with policing and covering areas such as Aden, Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Kenya, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine and Syria. Running from the age of propeller-driven aircraft through to the jet age, and heralding the increasing use of helicopters, the book not only illustrates the changes in camouflage and markings policies of RAF aircraft during this time, but the reasons why the British were there.

Following the publication of ‘RAF Trainers Volume 1’, Volume 2, continues the story of the color schemes and markings, from the immediate post-war era in 1945, with the introduction of jet-engined types, through the second half of the 20th century and in to the 21st century, including the aircraft types used today.REVIEWS I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the RAF. It's chock full of information and inspiration for attractive, colorful paint schemes. Most of the aircraft depicted in this volume are available to us modelers. I'm going to unearth my Airfix Chipmunk and look for the new Airfix Vampire T.11 for future builds. Also, I want to check out the first volume of this series.IPMS"This is a very useful guide to add to any reference library and it is therefore highly recommended to all or for those just wanting to add a few unusual and colorful types to their collections"Model Airplane International

Adler Gegen England: The Luftwaffe’s Air Campaign against the British Isles 1941-45 (Camouflage and Markings)

Affectionately known as the ‘Stringbag’ by its crews, the Fairey Swordfish is one of World War Two’s most iconic and recognizable biplane aircraft. Introduced in to Royal Navy, Fleet Air Arm service in 1936, the aircraft wasn’t operationally retired until May 1945, and despite its obsolescent and antiquated looks, outlived several ‘more modern’ types intended to replace it, remaining in front-line service through to the end of the war in Europe. A British ‘classic’, and well timed to coincide with the recently released 1/72 scale kit from Airfix, this is another illustration and photos publication.

One of Britain’s classic postwar jet aircraft, the Hawker Hunter first entered RAF service as a single-seat fighter in July 1954. It was later operated in the fighter-bomber and fighter-reconnaissance roles in RAF service, taking part in numerous conflicts around the globe, together with its twin seater variant, which was also heavily involved in trainer and second line duties until the early 1990s. The Hunter also served with the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm and was widely exported, serving with over twenty other countries’ air forces – and these ‘Hunters in foreign service’ will be covered in a future AIRfile title.
