Description

Large format paperback, staple bound in glossy pictorial covers. 28 pages plus covers. Illustrated with rare archive black and white photographs; detailed 1:48 and 1:72 scale drawings by Ian R. Stair and three color profiles by Ray Rimell on rear cover. Second edition. The Type L was a parasol wing (monoplane) French built fighter aircraft, one of the first successful fighters put into production. Its single machine gun fired through the arc of the propeller, unlike the Fokker E.III which had a synchronization gear, enabling the pilot to fire a machine gun through the arc of the propeller without striking the blades, limiting its operational tenure. An excellent resource for the scale-modeler and airplane enthusiast. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked copy with sharp corners and no creases, as new. Fine
