The big question was how to split them: night fighters or day fighters? Fighter Command or Coastal Command? In the end, we chose to group the photographs by subtype. In this volume, you will therefore find all the Mk I, Mk II, and Mk VIf variants. The Mk VIC will appear in the next volume, along with the Mk X and later marks.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1108\" data-start=\"627\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne of the design challenges for a book dealing with a large number of black-painted night fighters is how to reproduce the photographs. If a standard reproduction process is used, much of the detail is lost in the black camouflage. With this in mind, we have deliberately reduced the contrast in many of the images and enhanced the shadows to bring out surface details that are often lost in other publications. So if some of the photos appear a little “flat”, that is the reason.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1490\" data-start=\"1110\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI would like to thank \u003cstrong data-end=\"1149\" data-start=\"1132\"\u003eNeil Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e for taking on this daunting project, which involved sifting through several hundred photographs and trying to determine whether they depicted Mk VIfs, Mk ICs, or Mk VICs—not an easy task, I can assure you!
