Book reviews
DIVE-BOMBING BIOGRAPHY
In contrast to most Battle of Midway writings, David Rigby’s book aims to draw further attention to Wade McClusky, the US Navy pilot who led the dive-bomber attacks against the Imperial Japanese Navy’s aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga.
SEABORNE FOX HUNT
Kagero’s 69th TopDrawings publication will be extremely useful for modellers with IBG’s 1/700 HMS Badsworth kit, as it offers a large selection of line drawings depicting this Hunt II-class ship, plus its history in English and Polish.
'LEGACY BUG' PHOTO STUDY
Model Art’s second Aircraft Photobook is dedicated to the F/A-18A/B/C/D and D (R) Hornet, which are also known as ‘Legacy Hornets’.
MARITIME CLEAR MOON
Suzutsuki (Clear Moon) was one of just five Akizuki-class destroyers (out of 13 vessels) to survive World War Two and is now the subject of Kagero’s Super Drawings in 3D series.
CAMERAMAN'S CHRONICLE
This landscape-format offering is the first in a series showing rare and previously unseen wartime photographs.
DAYLIGHT EVALUATION
America’s entry into World War Two was marked by initial attempts to bomb Germany ‘round the clock’, with British forces’ overnight attacks and USAAF daylight raids.
COMPREHENSIVE COMPENDIUM
Alongside its revised guide to long-nose versions, Valiant Wings has released this updated and expanded reference for radial-engined Focke-Wulf Fw 190s, including a section devoted to modelling the type.
