Armstrong Whitworth A.W.650/660 ARGOSY
Price: £10.50
No. 71 in the Warpaint series
The original specification for the aircraft that ultimately resulted in the Argosy started as a compromise between a civilian freighter and a military general purpose transport aircraft. When the civilian version did not attract sufficient attention from operators who were caught up between cheaper second-hand piston-engined freighters and the new pure jets then entering service, it was the Royal Air Force that gave a fresh lease of life to this turboprop aircraft when it was adopted as its standard tactical transport aircraft. Though its achievements have remained largely unsung, the Argosy gave loyal service in the United Kingdom as well as in the Near, Middle and Far East, acquitting itself with honour, even when operating in zones that proved inaccessible to other aircraft. This new Warpaint title gives an insight into all this, as well as details of operators and colour schemes relating to this subject which for the most part has remained neglected.
Available from leading stockists world wide or by direct mail from Warpaint Books. Ordering information and addresses on the last page.
Am I correct in thinking that there aren’t that many dedicated publications on the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy ?
