Description

Large format paperback, staple bound in white pictorial covers. 36 pages plus covers. Profusely illustrated with 109 rare archive black and white photographs; 3 pages of detailed 1:48 and 1:72 scale drawings by Ian R. Stair and three color profiles by Ray Rimell on rear cover. “Fabric: Camouflage and Markings” essay and Appendices round out this issue. First edition. This is the fourth Datafile by Italian aviation historian Gregory Alegi and it focuses on the diminutive Ansaldo A.1 fighter biplane.

A clean, fresh and unmarked copy, pristine but for a very slight bump to upper fore-edge corner. Near fine.
