Hawker Fury & Nimrod (Yellow Series)

The Hawker Fury was perhaps the most beautiful biplane fighter ever built, and was the RAF's first aircraft capable of exceeding 200mph in level flight. Together with its naval counterpart, the Nimrod, the Fury served with many air forces right up until the beginning of WW2. In RAF service, the Fury sported all the highly colorful squadron markings of the day, and then went into camouflage as war approached. This book describes the design, development and service of the Fury and Nimrod, with all the forces that used them. It talks about a rarely documented aspect of World War Two aviation history. It features superb color illustrations of camouflage and markings, walk-around color photographs and rare black and white archive photographs. It is an essential reading for aviation enthusiasts and scale aeromodelers.
