Cheers Cruv' - if I could turn the clock back I'd have bought TRIPLE the amount......!

This was around 1981-84 though, on a flying visit to the Mosquito museum.

They contain more info' than many books with FIVE times the print - they're that good.

The Digital-Camera makes 'em look Red, but they definately ARE 'Cerise' in colour, just like yours.

Who is the publisher of your booklets, BTW ????????

They're called "Camouflage & Markings" by Ducimus Books, London. (1970's ?)

The earlier printed ones, ALSO happen to have that 'Red/Cerise' style covers, which is WHY I wondered if they are similar ??????

Thanks Jim & Cruv' for posting the answer - they DON'T appear to be the same (?)

So,

I've scanned a coupla pix from inside two of those on Post No.5

Just to let ya see the detail & info' provided within.......

It's prob' worth trying to track these down too, as they're SO informative !!!!!!!!!!

(As if ya ain't got enough expense at the moment )

I've scanned the 601 Sqdn Airacobra 'markings' page & the Boulton-Paul Defiant (too), to give an example.......

They look very good, I shall take your advice Hornchurch,

First on the list must be the P40.
Westland Whirlwind would be a good one.

Those are much more detailed. I will have to put those on my list of items to track down.

CC,

I have many of these bought back when they were first issued. Plus many of the improved group starting with #205. Hard to tell how many because most are filed in my 18 x 1 1/2" binder "scrap book". Yes they are a great reference.

Ron,

Sounds like a nice collection of aircraft reference material you have, and I definitely have to try hunt down some of them.
