The Fairchild Republic A-10 didn't ever win any aeronautical beauty contests. Yet when effective close-air-support was needed, the 'Warthog' delivered...and in spades. Ken Neubeck takes an up-close-and-personal look at this killer machine in WALK-AROUND #17, published by Squadron Signal in 1999. Neubeck's book follows the established S/S format, 80 pages of general arrangement and detail photographs, all-color pages alternating with b&w pix. Richard Hudson contributes several multi-view drawings and Don Greer, five color pages of A-10 camouflage patterns and cover artwork. Aside from a brief historical summary, the emphasis is on nuts-and-bolts and modellers will welcome the many detail shots of nose gears, rudders, wingtips, weapons pylons, etc. |

Introduction: The history of the Hawker Hurricane deserves far more coverage than has been the case to dale. Its prime importance to RAF Fighter Command, particularly during the crucial Battle of Britain, tends to be ignored or downplayed in the face of its contemporary, the Supermanne Spitfire. This is not surprising because the advanced shape of the 'Spit* has tended to place the more pedestrian layout of the Hurricane in the shade. Additionally, the Spitfire Fund was created during World War II with no similar War Savings program covering the "Hurri". Another distorting influence lies with the media which still has a love affair with Supermarine's creation even into the 1990s. Nevertheless, interest in the Hurricane has grown in recent years. Previously, the number of airwortln Hurricanes was very small in comparison to the Spitfire, but it is now possible to see up to four of Sir Sydney Camm's designs in the air together. |

This project began in positive fashion, was blunted for some time by a tragic turn of fate, and finally brought to maturity. My initial attention had been concentrated on the Mosquito Air Museum which possesses not only a late model 'Mossie' B Mk 35. but also W4050 — the original prototype for De Havilland's superb "Wooden Wonder'. Access to the T Mk III (with which to illustrate the fighter version of the Mosquito) operated in flying condition by British Aerospace had been provisionally agreed upon when the aircraft and its two-man crew were lost in an airshow accident. Fortunately an alternative source subsequently came to light with a visit to the Yorkshire Air Museum where Tony Agar's Mosquito had been patiently constructed (literally from nothing) over many years. Although only a portion of the overall airframe is vintage NF Mk II. the aircraft provided sufficient detail to outline the De Havilland design as intended to operate in a fighter-bomber role. |

Although it was far from the most produced bomber of World War II (12.677 B-17s were built, while 18.188 B-24s were built), the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress has come to symbolize strategic bombardment during World War Two. Most of the literature, and all of the movies about WWII bombers star the B-17. Award winning movies such as Command Decision, Twelve O'Clock High, The War Lover, and Memphis Belle all featured the Flying Fortress. |

The rugged, hardhitting Curtiss P-40, in various models, gave valiant service during World War II. Author-illustrator Lou Drendel presents a photographic tour of the P-40, especially the E model, in this Squadron/Signal 'Walk Around' volume from 1996. The P-40, in its Tomahawk, Kittyhawk and Warhawk variants, held the line in 1941/42 until better USAAF fighters - P-38s, P-47s and P-51s - appeared. Though not the most produced model, the P-40E saw the most action. The bulk of the b&w and color photographs in 'Walk Around Number 8,' feature E models. The five pages of color profiles by Don Greer cover the entire P-36/P-40 line. The front/back-cover artwork depicting Colonel Robert L. Scott's 'Old Exterminator' P-40 was done by Drendel. |

Excellent color photos of restored Wildcats. This book covers the whole series. There are also line drawings, 3 pages of color plates to show paint schemes used by the US, British and French. Built by Grumman "Iron Works" it was just enought to hold the fort against the Japanese Zero's until newer designs came along. |
