On July 25 1915 the first squadron of any air arm created specifically as a fighter unit, and equipped exclusively with a single type, arrived in France. The unit was No.11 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps and the aeroplane was the Vickers Fighting Biplane No.5. In pre-war days, the pusher was dubbed the 'Gun Bus', an unofficial soubriquet it has borne ever since, and it remains one of the immortals of WWI aviation history. The Victoria Cross was awarded to just 19 airmen in The Great War, one of these went to 2nd Lieutenant Gilbert Insall, a FB5 pilot of No.11 Squadron, for an action on November 7 1915 when with his observer/gunner Air Mechanic T H Donald he brought down an Aviatik. Following their attack the FB5 crew themselves were brought down by ground fire over German-held territory, Insall making a good landing, after which they were subjected to heavy shellfire until darkness fell. The airmen managed to repair the FB5's holed fuel tank and at dawn flew back to their airfield at Bertangles. Donald wa s awarded a DCM. This is the first ever monograph to be published on the Vickers FB5, a pictorial tribute which is long overdue...

One of the great un-sung warriors of WWI was the opwith LCT, the Land Clerget Tractor of the company drawing office but nicknamed forever in history as the 1 1/2 Strutter - an obvious reference to its unusual central wing strut arrangement. The Strutter enjoyed a lengthy service career and a lengthy production run in France where, as author J M Bruce relates in his narrative, the greatest number of the type was constructed. For this DATAFILE a great variety of illustrations has been selected but space precludes coverage of the single seat bomber version. The 1 1/2 Strutter is assured of its niche in British military aviation history and this book represents the best pictorial record of the type yet published.

The patch is a customized emblem designed specifically for a particular organization. An emblem is often displayed on patches, decals, plaques and other memorabilia. Pride and comradery in the crew is a direct result of the patch as a daily reminder that a specific unit is the best in the Navy. In the past, patches were designed by and for the unit members. Although not approved by Navy Regulations until the 1950s, for Unofficial use only, Navy units have proudly displayed their patches since World War II. Today, patches are both Official and Unofficial. The Official version has either been designed or approved by the Naval Board of Heraldry, with each element and color of the design having a specific meaning. This is the second of three volumes covering Naval Aviation patches from World War II to the present each volume will contain over 1000 patches in full color. This volume covers the patches of individual aircraft (attack, cargo, electronic warfare, fighter, helicopter, patrol, anti-submarine, training), fixed-wing squadrons (VA, VA(AW), VAH, RVAH, VAHM, VAK, VAL, VAN, VAP, VAQ, VAW), and helicopter squadrons (HAL, HC, HCS, HCT, HM, HS, HSL, HT, HU).

The revolutionary all-metal monoplanes designed during WWI under the direction of Professor Hugo Junkers were the progenitors of a long and incredibly successful line of aeroplanes. The J.9/D.I monoplane arrived too late to influence the fortunes of the German Army Air Service and any operational activities were limited to postwar fighting in Poland yet it is deserving of an important position in German military aviation history. In a period of wooden, wire-braced, fabric-covered biplanes and triplanes, the products of Junkers Werke stand apart as being ahead of their time in several respects.

Designed to replace larger 4 engined patrol aircraft, the graceful P4M was built around 2 R-4360 radials and 2 J33 jet engines. The Mercator became famous as an intelligence collection aircraft flying electronic surveillance missions against Russia, Red China and North Korea, a role eventually taken over by the 1/3 smaller and less powerful P2V Neptune. The P4M-1Qs flew in this role from 1952 thru 1960 and at least 2 aircraft were shot down by hostile countries.
