A new book from the publishers of FLYING MODELS! A View From Here - Scale 3-view Drawings and Comments - by Jim Newman

If you detect a hint of a British flavor to this book, you're right. Jim Newman, the well-accomplished author, illustrator, and cartoonist of this book was born in Great Britain and grew up during WW II surrounded by aviation. It was a foregone conclusion that airplanes would be his life's work, whether full size or model. For years after the war he flew for the Royal Air Force (RAF), then as an engineer at British Aerospace. He came to the United States to work for Carl Goldberg Models in 1971. Since then his encyclopedic knowledge of aviation, his experience as a glider pilot and instructor as well as his inimitable artistic abilities have made a considerable contribution to American modelers in his extensive writing, his illustrations, and his design ability, not to mention his excellent droll British humor. This is a book that any aviation enthusiast will savor with Jim's experienced insight into some very interesting aircraft.
