New issue is out, after another inexplicable delay at the printers
Main features:
PACIFIC AIRCRAFT GRAVEYARD
For the first time a film crew have been able to visit an incredible aircraft dumping ground. In depths of over 100ft. are dozens of stripped aircraft including at least one Avenger, SBD Dauntless dive bombers, several Corsairs, B-25 Mitchells and a C-46 Commando. Some spectacular photos.
P-47 SURFACES
On the afternoon of 13 June 2005, a veteran of some 90 missions was successfully raised from the bottom of Traunsee, Upper Austria. Bearing the legend and well preserved nose art ‘Dottie Mae’ the P-47 will be restored back to wartime condition in the U.S. The loss of the aircraft and what is known of its wartime history is described in detail.
FOKKER D.VII
Arguably the best German aircraft of the Great War the Fokker D.VII impressed the Allies enough to be singled out for special mention in the Armistice. The article looks at the few original survivors before describing in detail four initiatives that will see amazingly accurate reproductions take to the skies in four different countries.
BOEING 40
The 1920s Boeing B-40 biplane was that company’s first commercial success, primarily carrying mail, a service which, up until that time, was controlled by the US Government. This article looks at the history, surviving aircraft and a current initiative to get an example into the air.
NTH.QUEENSLAND WARBIRDS
After reading one of our editorials about learning to fly, Darren Craven decided to commence his lessons. After gaining his PPL he began seeking experience on a variety of types, becoming proficient on the Tiger Moth, Pitts and Winjeel. What he really wanted however was a crack at the AT-6 Harvard and in this report he describes how Nth.Queensland Warbirds helped him achieve his dream.
