About this Item

Precise Information about the colors and markings of WW 2 RAAF aircraft is often extremely difficult to locate, particularly for those which had interesting or amusing personal emblems. In this book, the first of a two-part set, will be found a wonderful visual presentation of dozens of aircraft in a variety of conditions ranging from the slick new machine in factory finish to the mud-stained often bullet-ridden combat veteran. Former members of the RAAF will in fact remember many of them. The author's extensive selection of color illustrations - each one involving much preliminary research even before painting could begin - took six months to complete and are collector's items in themselves. In addition to its highly readable text, the book contains approximately 300 rare black and white and color photographs, probably the most comprehensive set of official RAAF Camouflage and markings documents yet to be published, and many surprises. This volume covers the years 1939 to 1943. 144 p. many photos and color illustrations very good condition, dust jacket slightly rubbed Hardcover with dust jacket, large format.
