Matthew Willis : Fairey Flycatcher (Orange Series) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Fairey Flycatcher (Orange Series):

A Nice Introduction to the FlycatcherBy JCALThis a very workmanlike volume on a little known aircraft that has been delivered at a very reasonable price point. (Most importantly, I've enjoyed the book.)This is an unpresumptuous, brief monograph on the Flycatcher. The book follows the typical format of pre-history, design, usage, etc. The color plates and line drawings are excellent. The technical descriptions and reproduced illustrations are adequate for the size and price-point of this book as well.Recommended for those with an interest in post WWI aircraft and aircraft of the Royal Navy. Not recommended for modelers. If you have interest in the aircraft or post WWI RN aviation operations, this volume represents a good purchase.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Orange series gets back to basicsBy Jim DavisThis is the 16th book in MMP Book's Orange Series. It introduces a new trade dress to this series but despite this the book in many ways represents a retreat to the format of the very earliest books. The size is back to the European B5 size (6-1/2" x 9"), the 96 pages are the lowest since the the earliest volumes, and the color profiles are all collected in the back of the book instead of spread throughout the text. It's still a square bound card cover but now the rear cover has an additional color profile instead of ads for other volumes of interest.All that said, the book is quite well done. The first 23 pages are a detailed background, design, development, and production history of the aircraft. Of particular interest was the comparison to the Plover. There then follows a 30-odd page service history which is remarkably comprehensive and includes quotes from biographies of Flycatcher pilots. Although the aircraft never saw war service it did play its part against piracy in Chinese waters and unrest in Palestine. Its use as a trainer and in public displays is not neglected either. There are a few pages devoted to its role as a testbed for catapult, metal float, and metal propeller development. Three pages cover the unsuccessful Flycatcher II. The text concludes with some pages devoted to a modern Flycatcher replica, a technical description, markings, and specifications. The text is supported throughout by excellent black and white photographs all expertly captioned. The replica section has some nice color photos of the aircraft in flight.The "In Detail" section is a bit of a disappointment with only 5 pages of color closeups of the aforementioned replica, now in a museum. The replica is not faithful down to detail equipment level so is of limited use for this purpose. Were there no contemporary photos that could have been used? In any event, there are three pages of drawings from the technical manuals of the aircraft which are very informative.The book concludes with 13 pages and the rear cover devoted to color profiles and not a few plans. The Flycatcher carried many colorful and varied markings in its 10 year career so these are a real treat. The book also has 8 pages of 1/48th scale line drawings of the usual MMP high quality.It should be pointed out that the book takes pains to cover the aircraft's role as a floatplane as well as a landplane. This is reflected throughout the book in photos, color profiles, and line drawings.Highly recommended. I don't have a lot of Flycatcher references (the Fairey Putnam volume is my best) so this book is very welcome. I hope someone will do a comparison of the interwar US and British carrier aircraft at some point.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice little book with great photos and illustrationsBy Jared A. ZichekNice little book on the Flycatcher with excellent scale drawings, color profiles, manual extracts, etc. Ideal for modelers and history buffs alike.

The Fairey Flycatcher was the archetypal between-the-wars fighter. The idiosyncratic was loved by crews and public alike, despite its unlikely appearance and moderate performance, and it was famed more for its aerobatic prowess and public demonstrations than glory on the field of battle. The Flycatcher was agile yet forgiving, tough, reliable, and fully aerobatic, and, bedecked in a dazzling range of bright, colorful markings, was the perfect mount for expressing the youthful high spirits of naval pilots in the 1920s and 30s. The Flycatcher was never engaged in a war, though it played a significant role in lsquo;colonial policingrsquo; of trouble spots in the British Empire, and served the Royal Navy doing everything from tackling pirates off the Chinese coast to entertaining crowds at Schneider Trophy events with aerobatic displays. This book is the most comprehensive on the Flycatcher yet published, with numerous photographs of the aircraft in service, several of which have never been published before, walk around photographs of the replica built by John Fairey, illustrations from contemporary manuals, and color artwork.
