BOOK ARALDICS OF THE REGIA AERONAUTICA VOLUME THIRD Author: Pierluigi Moncalvo, Giovanni MassimelloVolume of 148 pages A/4 size (21x29.7) in 150-gram matte coated paper, with 300-gram four-color plasticized cardboard cover. Over 200 b/w and color images, 15 color profiles, dozens of color drawings of heraldic symbols and coloristic details.This is the third volume in the series "Heraldry of the Regia Aeronautica," which includes as usual the articles devoted to this subject that appeared in the GMT Newsletter. It consists of twenty articles, to which is added a special unpublished piece devoted to the interesting and varied insignia that appeared in the early postwar period on the Fiat BR bombers of the 13th Wing, a department particularly rich in original badges, some of them very little known.The preface to the second volume had indicated the main reason why the criterion of an organic treatment of the various insignia had not been followed, preferring instead to seize the opportunity of the discovery-often unexpected-of interesting material, in many cases never previously illustrated, to study and describe the individual badges in depth without being bound to a predetermined order.In this volume an attempt has been made to subdivide the various emblems dealt with in recent years according to a fairly intuitive criterion, beginning with those affixed to aircraft operating between the two wars and having them followed by those that appeared on aircraft employed in World War II; the latter subdivided - indicatively - between fighters, bombers, torpedo bombers, maritime scouts, transports and various departments. Finally, in order to facilitate research by interested readers, an analytical index of the individual badges illustrated in this and the previous two volumes has been added at the end of this volume.In the face of these minor changes, the 'main commitment of the publication has been confirmed: to continue to present the emblems that appeared on Regia Aeronautica aircraft as accurately as possible, each time adding a brief historical description of the departments involved. The goal is to gradually compose, through heraldry and its tendentially "serious," sometimes humorous and above all "human" implications, a kind of mosaic that will hand down the memory of the often glorious events of our aviators.The authors are well-known aviation historians who have to their credit dozens of publications with both the GMT and other publications.

Book Dassault-Mirage F1 by Andy Evans 60 PagesDuring the 1960s, Dassault began development of what would become the Mirage F1 as a private enterprise, along with the larger Mirage F2. Work on the F1 eventually took precedence over the more expensive F2, which was cancelled in the late 1960s. The Armee de l'Air became very interested in the nascent F1 to meet its demand for an all-weather interceptor aircraft. The Mirage F1 was similar in size to the Mirage III and Mirage 5 and was powered by the same SNECMA Atar engine that had been used on the larger Dassault Mirage IV, however, unlike its predecessors, it had an arrow wing arrangement, but mounted high on the fuselage, and a conventional tail surface like that used by the F2. Although it had a smaller wingspan than the Mirage III, the Mirage F1 still proved superior to its predecessor, carrying more fuel and possessing a shorter takeoff run and greater maneuverability. This latest addition to the Warpaint series includes all the usual reference and historical material that has made the series the go-to source for modelers and aviation enthusiasts. This book is written by Andy Evans and is superbly illustrated by Sam Pearson.
