Avro Anson Mk.I in Worldwide Service — the twenty-fifth volume of the Wingleader Photo Archive series on the machine the RAF first sent out on patrols over the sea and then turned into its main school desk.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a photographic publication for modelers and aviation historians, not a kit. The twenty-fifth volume of the numbered Photo Archive series of the British publisher Wingleader was written by Andrew Thomas and Simon W. Parry.
The Avro Anson grew out of a small transport aircraft and came to the RAF in the mid-thirties as a coastal patrol machine. It was one of the first aircraft in regular British service with retractable landing gear, which on the Mk.I version was wound up by a hand crank, and the crews did not love it for that. For the fight over the sea it was soon not enough, but it found a calling that lasted it the whole war and beyond: training. Navigators, radio operators and gunners were trained on Ansons all over the Commonwealth, from Canada and Australia to Rhodesia and India, and the word worldwide in the title is therefore literal. The Mk.I could be told by its welded tubular fuselage and its wooden wing with fabric covering; it earned the nickname Faithful Annie by its reliability.
For modelers who build the Anson Mk.I and want to check the form of a particular machine, its camouflage and training markings. It will appeal to readers interested in flying training during the war as well.
