STUFF OF LEGEND
Even now the stories chill the blood and raise the heart rate – the bravery of aircrews who flew the Fairey Swordfish into the most hazardous of wartime hostilities is rightly the stuff of legend. Thankfully, the charismatic biplane lives on in the very capable hands of Navy Wings. Following a fascinating visit to the team’s Yeovilton base, we’re proud to feature Swordfish W5856 on our cover and to tell the incredible story of both this machine and others like it.

CLASSICS: HANDLEY PAGE HALIFAX
Not unlike the Swordfish, crews that manned the Halifax endured some of the most dangerous and costly raids of World War Two. With exclusive artwork and rarely seen images, we recount the infamous Nuremberg raid and profile the legendary ‘Friday the 13th’.

AVRO PIONEER
Starting with models and making the leap to full size aircraft, A V Roe became a legendary aviation innovator. Ken Ellis documents his career.
