When the makers of this series first looked at doing the Vampire in this series, they quickly realised that there wasn't too much point in concentrating on the technical details of what was a very simple aircraft. Instead, it seemed to make sense to focus on the operational side so it was clear that Andrew Thomas was the man to approach. Using a combination of his and other photo libraries, the editors have managed to find photos to illustrate every RAF Squadron that flew the Vampire, plus they've got a good sized section to cover overseas use of this early jet fighter. They've selected profiles to cover various camouflage and marking variants and have also included colour examples of squadron bars where appropriate.
