Chris Thomas, the son of a Typhoon pilot, is probably the worlds leading expert on the Hawker Typhoon and has an incredible reference library on this classic fighter. Originally the editors thought about having one volume on the Typhoon and one on the Tempest, but with Chriss archive and knowledge, they think that they may stretch to four or even five books on the two aircraft. This first one covers the early days of Typhoon development and operations and includes the usual mix of high-res wartime photos, informative captions and plenty of "I never knew that" moments, especially in the area of recognition markings which these early Typhoons saw their fair share of.
This first book covers the early days of 'Typhoon' development and operations and contains the usual mix of high-resolution wartime photographs, informative captions and plenty of 'I didn't know that' moments, particularly in the area of identification markings, of which these early 'Typhoons' made ample use.
