Book excerpt: Includes a free decal sheet in 1:72, 1:48 and 1:32 The German Fokker E.V was a parasol-monoplane fighter aircraft, designed by Reinhold Platz. It entered into service with the Luftstreitkrafte in the last few months of World War I, yet after several fatal accidents due to wing failures, the E.V. was modified and re-designated as the Fokker D.VIII. Dubbed the Flying Razor by Allied pilots, the D.VIII had the distinction of scoring the last aerial victory of the war. This is a detailed, illustrated review of both aircraft, covering all modifications and includes color artwork profiles and a decal sheet in three scales: 1:72, 1:48 and 1:32. About the Series Famous Airplanes focuses on the great aircraft of history and their combat history, featuring color profiles and photographs of the premier planes from a particular unit, theater or service. With detailed development history, profiles of the men who flew them and strategic and tactical analysis, these books provide a wealth of information for any aviation enthusiast.

Book excerpt: The RAFs only delta-winged fighter the Gloster Javelin was also Britains first true All-Weather Fighter. Based in the UK and in Germany, the RAFs Javelin squadrons formed the front line of Britains air defences in the late 1950s and early 1960s. During this time Javelin crews pioneered the operational use of guided missiles and air-to-air refuelling by fighter aircraft. In the Far East, Javelins were involved in operations during the Indonesian Confrontation and the aircraft was also deployed to Zambia during the Rhodesian UDI Crisis. In this history, which is richly illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, Michael Napier blends official records with personal accounts to describe the operational history of this iconic jet fighter.

Book excerpt: Schatzberg shows that American aeronautical engineers and airplane designers were swayed by the symbolism of airplane materials, a symbolism that linked metal with technological progress and wood with preindustrial craft traditions. This symbolism encouraged the aeronautical community to focus research and development on metal airplanes at the expense of promising projects involving wood - despite the fact that other countries continued to produce highly successful aircraft with wood through the end of World War II. According to Schatzberg, technical personnel in the American military played the key role in this process. They had little evidence for metal's superiority but used their dominant influence to press the case that metal was the wave of the future and that airplanes would inevitably follow ships and abandon wood.
