NEWS FROM VALIANT WINGS PUBLISHING
Valiant Wings Publishing is pleased to
announce that our next title in the well-established Airframe
& Miniature series will be Airframe &
Miniature No 20 covering the Avro Lancaster in wartime
service. The sheer weight of material
available on the type means that we can only do it justice by
producing the title in two volumes. The first
to be published will be
AM20: The Avro Lancaster (including the
Manchester) Part 1 - Wartime Service
- A Complete Guide to the RAF's Legendary
Heavy Bomber by Richard A. Franks.
This covers the Avro Manchester and Lancaster
B Mks I, II, III & VI in RAF (inc. RCAF/RAAF) service
in WWII.
The Avro Lancaster Part 2 will cover postwar variants, use by foreign air
forces, civilian types, both
Lancaster and Lancastrian, and trials and
test-bed machines. This volume will published later this
year. Full details of its contents will be
announced in due course.
The Lancaster has been a popular aircraft type with modellers and has recently
been the subject of
several new toolings in all scales,
especially in 1/32nd and 1/48th. Our latest book will go some
way towards unpicking the different variants
and detail differences that apply to the type. It will
contain at least 272 pages packed with vital
information that no active modeller and RAF Bomber
Command enthusiast should be without.
They each contain:
60+ pages of technical information
60+ pages of walk-around images and technical diagrams
8+ pages of camouflage and markings
25+ pages of model builds and modelling information
200+ photographs including wartime images
Colour side views and four-views by Richard J. Caruana
3D isometric views of all variants by Juraj Jankovic
Specially commissioned extensive full kit builds by Steve A. Evans
