  • Aircraft Profiles Were Created Originally for Still-To- Be Completed Books on the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm During the Second World War
    This page intentionally left blank PREFACE his document has been created to illustrate my interest in the Second World War and of what can be achieved in the Adobe Creative Suite. All design and layout was accomplished within Adobe InDesign CS2; the artwork using Photoshop 7.0. While this volume is constricted to the aircraft of the Second TWorld War, a topic chosen for its relative diversity. The aircraft of that conflict sported colors and schemes of a variety and aesthetic beauty rarely matched since. Despite its martial bearing, this subject also lends itself to illustrating the cultural bearing of nations at the time. In many instances, the heraldry and badges carried are displayed next to the respective craft. In the case of the British, each of these official unit badges had to be personally approved by the sovereign of that age, and in the following examples, either by King George V or King George VI. Many of these badges represent traditions, past history or take their colors from a local coat of arms. Not only did this link a specific unit to the place of its inception, but served to impart an esprit de corps on its serving men and women. Much of this work could not have been composed without Barry C. Wheeler’s seminal Guide to Military Aircraft Markings, which sparked my interest in aircraft camouflage, coloring and more importantly, squadrons. Most of the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aircraft profiles were created originally for still-to- be completed books on the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War.
