Volume 39 No. 2, the Summer issue

Colin Owers has assembled a wide-ranging series of articles, starting with his look at the Fokker D.III in the Netherlands and a photo essay of the AFC’s 4 Squadron’s as it prepared to return to Australia after the war. Roberto Gentilli looks at the US Navy pilot training program at Lake Bolsena in Italy, then Colin reviews and expands on Jack Bruce’s conclusions about the true colour of British P.C. 10. The issue continues with three articles about individual pilots, Johannes Koëlle of the Imperial German Navy by Alexander Notopol, Lt. Roger Chapin of the 11th Aero Squadron by Scott Chapin and Lt. Elmer Johansen of the US Navy by John A. Andersen Jr. The issue concludes with Peter Kilduff’s Between the Bookends.
