Fighting in the Flying Coffin - Though the German propaganda machine dubbed it the Flying Coffin, the Boeing B-17 Fortress was regarded with great affection by those aircrew that spent many noisy, uncomfortable and cold hours high above enemy territory during World War Two.

Front Cover - Several hundred Grumman/Eastern TBF/TBM Avengers earned their keep in the USA during the Fifties and Sixties in a variety of tasks, including fire bombing and agricultural work. A ban by the Forest Service on the use of single engined aircraft as fire bombers virtually brought the Avenger's career to a halt overnight, though many were exported to Canada for similar work, fighting the spruce bud worm. Several aircraft have been restored to their original military configuration and one of the latest restorations is the Eastern TBM-3E NL7075C, restored in Royal Navy markings JR456 featured on our front cover. The aircraft is flown by warbird collector Bob Pond and features fully operational bomb bay, doors and rear turret. Cover picture by MICHAEL O'LEARY. Another photograph of this aircraft can be found on page 418.
