Description

Large format paperback, staple bound in white pictorial covers. 36 pages plus covers. Illustrated with 56 rare archive black and white photographs; 3 pages of detailed 1:48 and 1:72 scale drawings by Ian R. Stair plus other detailed schematics and three color profiles by Ray Rimell on rear cover. “Fabric: Camouflage and Markings” essay and Appendices round out this issue. First edition. “Although somewhat overshadowed by its better known contemporary-the de Havilland DH 2 (subject of DATAFILE No.48) which preceded it into service-the Royal Aircraft Factory’s FE8 pusher fighter served in four Frontline RFC units in France with at least one pilot scoring eight victories on the type.” [Publisher’s blurb]. An excellent resource for the scale-modeler and airplane enthusiast. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh and unmarked copy, near like new. Fine.
