The Westland Lysander became famous for picking up and dropping secret agents into Nazi occupied Europe on moonlit nights. Yet this was only one of the aircraft’s many roles. Originally designed for Army co-operation, used widely in combat and training, it went on to become a founding member of the ‘Salvation Navy’ as an air-sea rescue aircraft and later use as a target tug. Brave men flew the Lysander from the cold of prairie Canada, to the jungles of Burma and the heat of the North African desert. This book is the first ever to cover many previously undocumented aspects of the Lysander’s use, with firsthand accounts from pilots and ground crew. The photographs were chosen from official archives and private collections, and from the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia. Many have never been published before. It also presents brand-new scale drawings and colour profiles, and information from previously unused sources. Full listings of performance, production, units and secondary users are also included. Many true stories are presented here for the first time, as well as the examination of myths and previously ‘secret’ information.

In 1939, the German Air Ministry asked aircraft manufacturers for proposals for an "Amerikabomber," an ultra-long-range, four-engined aircraft capable of attacking the United States from airfields in Germany. Projects were tendered by Junkers, Focke-Wulf, and Messerschmitt. The latter proposed the Me 264 and Messerschmitt’s personal influence was such that he was not only allowed to go ahead with the design, but was also given an immediate order for three aircraft. Using original German documentation and rare photographs, this book details the story of the remarkable Amerikabomber projects. Aircraft types featured in the book include the Me 264, the Ta 400, Fw 238, Ju 390 and the jet-powered Ho XVIII B flying wing. The book also examines the reality behind the myth associated with Germany’s atomic bomb carrier.

This volume initiated a new modeling series by Verlinden Publications to deal with todays high standards of scale modeling. This book is divided into six sections, each dealing with a different model of an aircraft from the second world war. With one exception, the models were made by the professional staff at Verlinden Productions Studios using the highly detailed Verlinden Productions resin and photo-etched model aircraft detail sets. They were each photographed and documented at various stages of development, and finally incorporated into attractive diorama settings. Each article describes in-depth the construction, detailing, painting, and weathering of each model in such a way as to guide the reader through the process so that he may benefit from the professional tips and techniques revealed therein. One of the articles, which is of a beautifully detailed 1:32 scale P-51D Mustang, was built and photographed by the very accomplished Spanish modeler, J.M. Villalba. Amo! ng the other models described are a famous German fighter, a Messerschmitt Me-109G2 in 1:48 scale, displayed in a North African desert setting undergoing engine maintenance, a very highly detailed 1:48 He-219 UHU German nightfighter being inspected by U.S. Troops on a captured German airfield, and a 1:48 scale TBF Avenger crew bailing out after ditching in the high seas. Another 1:48 scale German airplane, the Focke Wulf FW-190 D-9, is depicted undergoing general maintenance in a workshop, revealing details like the engine and guns, and finally, a beautifully weathered 1:48 PBY-5A Catalina seaplane, which is attractively displayed rescuing downed fliers on the high seas. Following the Verlinden hallmark, this book is full of beautiful full color photographs of extremely attractive scale models, and promises to please with more books in the series to follow. An excellent book for anyone who has ever built a scale model airplane, as well as anyone who is fascinated with aviation history.
