RUSS TURNER’S CAMELRuss Turner is a big guy, and he was getting frustrated. In August 2009 he visited Robert Baslee at his Airdrome Aeroplanes headquarters in Holden, Missouri, with an eye to purchasing either a Nieuport 17 kit or a Sopwith Pup kit. It was obvious without even sitting in it that the full scale Nieuport 17 was way too small for a man of Russ’s stature, but the Pup looked promising. However, sitting in the Pup revealed that it was too snug as well, and as Russ struggled to extricate himself from the cockpit Baslee mused aloud that he could probably build a larger Pup. Russ quipped, “Isn’t a larger Pup just a Camel?” And so the seeds of this project were sown - and the outcome described in this article.
BRIDGE BUSTER B-25 The North American Aviation B-25 Mitchell was arguably the most recognized Allied medium bomber of World War II. This versatile twin would go on to serve in all theatres of war in numerous roles, being very effective in all. In this article we take a close up look at the history of The Flying Heritage Collection’s example, and the outstanding effort in ensuring the aircraft’s authenticity, particularly the fitting out of the interior. Aero Trader’s Carl Scholl gives an overview of the painstaking process, this complemented with detailed images from Cory Graff and stunning air to airs by Jim Larsen.
KLEMM 35Our mystery aircraft is the elegant Klemm 35. The Klemm Light Aircraft Company began to produce sports, touring and training aircraft throughout the 1930s, the most successful being the Kl 35 which would become employed throughout the war as a trainer, not only with the Luftwaffe, but foreign air forces, in particular Sweden. During its career it would take on such duties as liaison, communications, occasional reconnaissance duties and general ‘hack’ with several fighter squadrons. This article takes look at its history and the current status of the type.
SEAFURY KINGSThink ‘Sea Fury’ and chances are you will think Sanders! For as long as anyone can remember the Sanders Family have been associated with the type and have had a hand in returning many of these powerful aircraft to the skies. Doug Fisher was fortunate to be given access to the Sanders Family archives to allow us a personal look into the business from its beginnings to the present day. The article has plenty of nostalgia but also updates all of the current projects, which are sure to see the name Sanders at the forefront of the warbird industry for decades to come.
