SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE MK.I/II SPECIAL EDITION WINGLEADER PHOTO ARCHIVE 26

Description: by Richard Alexander, 72 pages Since launching this series, a lot of people have asked us if we were going to include the Spitfire Mk.II. Unfortunately, although we could probably have scraped enough images together, not a lot happened with the Mk.II in terms of development, so it would have been a pretty dull book! It then occurred to us that our very first book on the Spitfire Mk.I only covered up to the end of the Battle of Britain, so maybe we could revisit the Mk.I as well in a new Mk.II book, but with more emphasis on the late 1940/early 1941 period. Also at this time, our old friend Richard Alexander was deep into researching early Spitfires for his superb Kotare model kit range, so we asked him if he’d consider producing a ‘Spitfire Mk.I/II Special’ to feature all the new Mk.I information that he had unearthed whilst covering the Mk.II in our usual style. And so, this unique book was born! We’ve tried wherever possible to include new photos and not to retread aspects that are already covered in our original Spitfire Mk.I book (WPA1), so this book should be seen as an essential companion to the first volume. We’ve included an extensive ‘detail’ section at the end of the book for all those modellers who want to understand the subtle differences between the early Spitfires, we’re sure you’ll find it of great interest! Also included as an extra treat in this ‘Special’ are port and starboard profile side views with undercarriage down to show the colours of the doors and the wheel wells, many thanks to Kotare’s profile artist Ronny Bar for doing these specials for us. ‍This book contains approx 120 original wartime/pre-war photos and 6 in-depth colour profiles showing both sides of the fuselage with the undercarriage down for door details All books are entirely in English unless noted otherwise.

I SHIP ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET.Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse! Please look at my ebay store where many similar titles are available.
