Laden with over 65 archive images,scale plans to 1:48 and 1:72 by the late Ian Stair and three new colour profiles from Ronny Bar,this 32 page study includes over 16 colour pages with many close-ups of the new repro's that provide unique reference and detailed coverage for all modellers of these tractable biplanes. Plus detailed colour notes, a wartime pilot's experiences of the type,with detailed appendices, this new DATAFILE is the perfect one-stop documentation!
