Go to cartBook Color Conundrum Compendium No.3 - 84 pages by Paul Lucas.Guideline Publications is pleased to announce the third "Colour Conundrum Compendium."This volume brings together two sets of articles, the first dealing with the RAF's "exotic" tropical land and sea patterns and colors from 1933 to 1945, while the second deals with the RAF's unusual photographic reconnaissance patterns and colors from 1939 to 1945. Like Compendium No. 2, this volume contains new material that has not previously been published in Scale Aircraft Modelling. These two new puzzles contain material that fits into the Tropical Land and Sea Schemes section in such a way that the result is a volume containing more information on the development and possible use of these schemes than has ever appeared before on three topics. : the RAF in World War II, the postwar air fleet, and related products of the U.S. aviation industry that are interwoven with both of the other subject areas. Added to this is a completely new chapter on the B-17Cs of 90 Sqn of 1941, which together with 4 pages of updates presenting new findings on some topics, constitutes another 12,000 words previously unpublished.Quoting extensively from primary sources, the articles also provide valuable insights into the organization and administration of the Air Force and the many thousands of documents and memos passed from office to office behind the scenes, providing background and insight that add depth and focus to a model, as well as an opportunity to understand why a specific color scheme might have been selected or rejected.With original research based on surviving documents in the National Archives at Kew, the purpose of these articles is to shed new light on some old questions, to challenge some long-standing views on aircraft camouflage and signage, and to ask new questions that had emerged as an issue resulting from research whose answers were not yet known.

Airlift Force RAF Transport Command 1948-1967 Consider, for a moment, these three Royal Air Force Command titles:- "Royal Air Force Bomber Command"- a name that, for many, may generate imposing images of Wellingtons, Halifaxes, Stirlings, Lancasters, Mosquitos, Lincolns, BAC/EE Canberra s, and the V-Bombers; "Royal Air Force Fighter Command"- a Command title that readily conjures up exciting images of Hurricanes, Spitfires, Tempests, Meteors, Vampires, Hunters, and Lightnings; "Royal Air Force Coastal Command"- a renowned name that may prompt dramatic over-water images of Sunderlands, Beaufighters, Mosquitos, Catalinas, Liberators, and Shackletons. Now, consider the title "Royal Air Force Transport Command"... to many readers this may prompt images of huge formations of Dakotas, disgorging paratroops over Normandy, Arnhem, or the Rhine; others will have a recollection of the Berlin Airlift. On the other hand, many of us will recall seeing, and ignoring, the occasional Argosy, Beverley, Bristol Britannia , Hastings, Comet, or, perhaps, a VC-10, in the static park at a Battle of Britain Open Day, while they aimed their cameras at the Hunters, Javelins, Lightnings, V-Bombers, or Shackletons on show- these were the exciting defenders of these isles; and those others..? "They're just superannuated airliners", as a school-friend airily dismissed Transport Command's contribution to a Battle of Britain Open Day, at RAF Biggin Hill in the mid-1960s, when we two were teenagers. 92 pages perfect bound
