About product

Fairey Firefly — Valiant Wings, Airframe Album 18

This is a specialist publication for modelers, not a kit. The eighteenth volume of the numbered Airframe Album series of the British publishing house Valiant Wings Publishing was written by Richard A. Franks and devoted to the two-seat carrier aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm.

The Fairey Firefly was a two-seat carrier-based fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm. It was powered by the powerful liquid-cooled Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, the wing had its characteristic Youngman flaps and an observer sat behind the pilot. It saw combat toward the end of World War II in Norway and above all in the Pacific, where machines from British aircraft carriers took part in attacks on Japanese oil installations on Sumatra. In the Korean War Fireflies attacked ground targets, and the later versions stayed in service right into the sixties.

What the book contains

  • Period photographs, shots of surviving machines and detail shots
  • Period drawings and data from flight manuals and spare parts catalogs
  • Isometric cutaway views of prototype and production machines (Juraj Jankovic)
  • Color profiles and notes on camouflage and markings (Richard J. Caruana)
  • A build of a Firefly Mk I kit in 1:48 and a survey of kits, accessories, decals and masks

Who it is for

For modelers who build any version of the Firefly and need to check the wing fold, the form of the flaps, the observer's cockpit and the naval camouflage. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of carrier aviation as well.
