Cloth. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. Two volumes of this popular wartime aviation magazine edited by Peter G. Masefield, intended to aid civilians in recognising aircrafts. Two volumes. Volumes I and III which include the complete series of issues from January to June 1941 and January to December 1942.Illustrated throughout with monochrome diagrams, photographs and illustrations of aircrafts, both friend and foe.This magazine was edited by Peter G. Masefield and was published weekly until late 1941 when the magazine switched to a fortnightly format due to newsprint shortages. Launched with official support just after the end of the London Blitz, this magazine quickly became the focus for all the aircraft enthusiasts in the UK.

After the demise of the magazine in 1948, many "spotters" set up their own organisations to carry on their interest. In the publisher's original quarter cloth with paper to the boards.
