Description
Established in the heady days of aviation in the early 1900s, Flight and The Aeroplane were considered essential reading for all aviation enthusiasts during the period, and today both publications are still viewed in a similar vein. Over the decades the periodicals have set the standards for excellence in technical artwork, exposing the anatomy of hundreds of aircraft through superbly detailed cutaway drawings. Flight and The Aeroplane have featured virtually every major combat type in line artwork at some point or another.
All the major Allied and Axis combat types ranging from Spitfire and Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters through to Lancaster and Flying Fortress bombers are covered in this period work. Supported by the best photography from the huge Aeroplane Monthly picture archive, each drawing has an individual type description, which is prefaced by detailed biographies of the artists responsible for these master works - J H Clark of The Aeroplane and Max Millar of Flight - and the wartime environment in which they worked.
