[Jeff H]

A copy of this book recently came into my possession and thought I would share it with you all.











































Also came into some other RAF/RCAF stuff which I will share with you all as time permits.

Very nice Jeff, good stuff ... may I add this cool LIFE 1942 spotters handbook to your thread as well.

The 'oncoming 3/4 view' in the British manual seems both unique and useful. Many planes there that were unknown to me, too.

The Curtiss "Cleveland" (SBC-2) is a surprising inclusion. I guess they had high hopes for it when that was published. Not to be; they - 5 ex-French - were deemed unfit for combat and used as hacks and then ground instruction.

Which makes it even more important to have it in the recognition guide, as hacks, they would be seen more often by the Home Guard than many of the axis aircraft.

Buffalo (Wasp) should be Buffalo (Cyclone) as far as I know.
