Volume 29 of the "Wingleader Photo Archive" series. Chris Thomas, the son of a Typhoon pilot, is probably the world's leading expert on the Hawker Typhoon and has an incredible reference library on this classic fighter aircraft. Originally the publishers were thinking of one volume on the Typhoon and one on the Tempest, but given Chris Thomas' archive and knowledge, they feel they could stretch to four or even five books on the two aircraft.
This book now covers the Hawker "Tempest" Mk. V, the only variant of this fighter-bomber still in service with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. The book contains the usual mix of high-resolution wartime photographs, informative captions and colour aircraft profiles showing paint schemes and markings.
