A very useful section on the mysteries of the Flag system is included, again covering the period from WWI to There is a section on Fording and Wading markings plus much more. A table of contents resides on page 3 and 4 with an explanatory introduction to the volume and series on page 5. If your interest is in British Military vehicles then this volume is another fantastic source of information, and with such a wide time span most probably contains something for everyone, whether model builder or historian.

There should be something for everyone interested in this genre. I was delighted to see Volume 4 come into being. I take my hat off to Dick Taylor and those involved for what must have been a mammoth task. Should you find error or new information that could be added to the subject area then I would urge you to forward same onto Mr.

Volume 4 had originally intended to include a listing of known vehicle names but due to the sheer volume of information that is around it was determined that a better approach to this area would be to host an updateable file which can be accessed here: see pdf bottom of page. Many, including myself, have already contributed their private research to this site and I would encourage anyone with new information to forward it on via email to:.

My congratulations and thanks to both Dick and MMP Books on producing another exceptional resource, that should be valued now and, I have no doubt, will be in the future.

The fourth and final volume of the superlative series on British Army vehicles is finally out, completing what is undoubtedly the most thorough reference on the colors and markings of British vehicles. This last volume documents the ground and air recognition markings, as well as vehicle names briefly; more on that later and miscellaneous markings.

This is a great finish to the series, and like the others, is packed with information. This volume is divided up into those sections listed above, with the first covering ground and air recognition markings. This section is further divided up to cover the various wars. World War One, World War Two, Korea, Suez, the liberation of Kuwait and the Iraq War all have their own specific chapters, with other conflicts and peacetime markings covered separately.

The vehicle name section follows this, and this one is more of a summary rather than a detailed examination. That detailed examination is instead provided online as a free download from the MMP website. Finally, the miscellaneous markings section covers such details as vehicle weight classes, convoy plates, national insignia, legal and safety, and other miscellania. While as a standalone book this one might not be as strong as some of the other volumes, together with the other three this is a very thorough and detailed reference on British Army vehicle colors and markings.

An excellent volume well up to the standard of the previous 3. I am sure that this will become the standard work on this topic for many years both for modellers and vehicle restorers. For me personally, the extensive bibliography has provided possible lines of enquiry for other info I need for my own specific projects. In my view, if you have one set of books on this subject this should be your choice. Highly recommended.

Pilots brought through Hying training on monoplanes, instead of biplanes, had no problem when introduced to the Barracuda.

In fact as early as June the Ministry had identified the basic problem - incorrect handling of the aircraft and engine by pilots. This brief history attempts to set the record straight and show that the Barracuda was in fact a valuable strike aircraft.
