Volume 68 of the "Warpaint series". Designed with both the aircraft enthusiast and the modeller in mind, this series offers a comprehensive and accurate account of a single aircraft type within each issue. Drawings provided in both colour side and plan view with 1:72 scale plans, kit decal and accessory lists, squadrons, units and individual aircraft serials in codes, etc. The "Brigand" completed the series of twin-engined bombers designed by Bristol starting in pre-war days, with the "Blenheim". The last three of these were linked in that they had a common denominator in the successor to the "Beaufighter" in the "Buckingham". Regrettably this came too late for service in Second World War and was in the main cancelled along with a number of other good aircraft types at that time. The "Buckmaster", developed at the same time was a side-by-side two-seat trainer which had the armament deleted and was originally to be the introduction to the bomber. Includes squadron and production details.
