Description:
New book, 34 pages. Eighteen pages cover the Operational Record of the Whirlwind : Lists provide the breakdown and total number of sorties flown by 137 & 263 Squadrons ; the units operational & non-operational which employed the Whirlwind ; the main aerodromes (with map) in the UK from which it flew ; the 22 Luftwaffe a/c claimed as destroyed or damaged by Whirlwind pilots ; the 55 a/c lost on operations - with serial, code if known, date & pilot ; the 34 a/c lost as a cause of accident, with similar details and the individual service lives of airframes from introduction to final fate. The final page is the Roll of Honour naming the 46 pilots who lost their lives flying the Westland Whirlwind (one should recall that only 114 examples entered service). As we have now come to expect of the "Allied Wings" series, the edition is richly illustrated, presenting 50 b/w and one period colour photograph of both aircraft and pilots, as well as 10 fuselage profiles by Malcolm Laird displaying the main camouflage schemes carried.
