Description
Fighting colours tells the story of the development and changes in Royal Air Force camouflage and markings over the years 1937 - 1969, a period which saw massive expansion of the R.A.F., the momentous years of war, and a long uneasy peace punctuated by the smaller conflicts and tensions of the " cold war ". In this book the author and the artist record concisely but comprehensively ho R.A.F. fighters and their colours altered over the years, against the background of contemporary events.
( ... ) Fighting colours is based on a highly successful series of articles which appeared under the same title in " Airfix Magazine ". Their popularity leads to this present volume, which has been greatly expanded with much extra text, many additional pictures, and a large number of new drawings. For all aircraft enthusiasts, and modellers in particular, this book makes a most valuable and indispensable work of reference.
