This new third edition of
TANKART 1 on modelling German Armor has been expanded to
include two additional models. The original five models
(Befehls Panther G, Tiger I Initial, Sd.Kfz 251/22 Pakwagen,
Hetzer, and Panzer IV DAK) are presented in a refined
graphic layout. Guest author, Lester Plaskitt's, world class
Sd.Kfz 251/21 is expanded to match the style of the other
chapters, including detailed captions explaining his
impressive painting and modelling skills. Newly added are
two exciting models. The first is a winterized 10.5cm
Sturmhaubitze 42, and the second is the famous Panzer IV
with 88mm Flak Gun. This model was built after photos
surfaced of this unique field-modified vehicle. The chapters
on modelling techniques have been edited and updated
including the Hair Spray Technique, Oil Paint Rendering and
other Techniques.

The Douglas DC-3/C-47/Dakota is
a breed apart, distinguished by her exceptional design,
engineering, durability, performance, and many other fine
characteristics. To the millions of passengers, captains and
crew who have operated these planes for more than 70 years,
she is unforgettable. Without question, the aircraft changed
history, opening the era of modern air travel in the 1930s
and as the backbone of allied air transport in the Second
World War. This new book is a fascinating wartime and
post-war history of a significant surviving veteran of that
war, C-47A N1844A. 'Legend' is a powerful celebration of one
of the most important aircraft of all time.

A history of the Israeli Air
Force and its aircraft since 1947. Previous books have been
sensationalist and low on factual content, or lacking in
fundamental research. Bill Norton has trawled through
thousands of documents, reports, and illustrations to
produce a work that is staggering in its depth. Detailed
type-by-type coverage is supported by hundreds of
photographs from the IAF's formative days, through the Suez
Campaign, the Six Day War, Yom Kippur and on to today's
sophisticated force. Includes full colour illustrations of
all of the unit badges of the IAF.

From the mid-1960s until the end of
the Cold War, the US Air Force acquired and flew
Russian-made MiG jets, eventually creating a secret squadron
to expose American fighter pilots to the enemy aircraft they
were likely to meet in combat. In this program MiGs were
secretly acquired and selected ace pilots were trained to
fly the assets - exactly as they were flown by America’s
enemies. This book tells the fascinating story of the
secret, Nevada based Red Eagles Squadron, using recently
declassified information and firsthand accounts from the
pilots who took part in the program.
