They’re doing one right now. David Polidano should know the subject inside out.

The earliest I have is 1956 and the list of previous issues puts the first edition as 1952 not 1949. The latter might be something else?

From the attached one can also notice that the early issues were published more than once a year under the title ‘revised edition’.

I miss the 9th edition too, so was there one??

Great site Benoit, hope you keep it going.

Just registered and downloads are fine. Please post notice of change of site when the time comes. Good Luck and thanks.

A small but very interesting private collection by a friend of mine in Gozo. Derek Azzopardi has been collecting for many years now and it’s all very nicely presented. Have a look on his Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=436326889791036&set=a.436326826457709.1073741825.100002411867200&type=1&theater

Great book Paul, pity the cover painting is not one of the artist’s best.

The town below the Spitfire’s nose (Senglea) was a mass of rubble by early 1942 while it has been painted as it is today, including the new church that is completely different from the one destroyed during the Siege.

Definitely C.202. The front shot shows the ‘squarish’ air cooler under the nose, the C.205 had two ‘barrel-shaped’ intakes instead and, of course, cannon armament in the wings except for the early production series.

Be grateful for the fact that they are putting in airconditionng after three years since the ‘renovation’ of the National War Museum. It was literally boiling hot in that place during summer (which here lasts from May to October)!
