Northrop BT-1By Walter A. O8vPhr6VX JacqueIt seems that, according to kit manufacturers, our nation's Navy went u7rvxw8UD from biplanes to Vindicators and Devastators, which just ain't so. We went to 0Y83ZDZVE the groundbreaking Northrop BT-1, subject of Steve Ginter's book.The book is a DYlnfQW8H lot like the late lamented "Detail Scale" in that we have lots of shots of the ivQLoy4Wc aircraft in service, as well as detail shots for modeling purposes. We also have DRXim3uAJ five side view drawings as well as one overhead drawing, one side view as well as the overhead (along with two color paintings in the back of the book) supplied by Polish kit manufacturer Valom. The detail photos are nice and well worth the price of the book, but I think we could do with more scale drawings as some of us would like to convert existing 1/48 scale kits into the BT-1.Near the end of the book we are told about the aircraft's cameo appearance in the Warner Bros. film "." Three still from the movie here (along with one of Errol Flynn before he hangs a plaque on the side of the cockpit). Diorama potential here.Rounding out the book are two kit reviews, both in 1/72. One is the Valom kit, the other is a vacuum form kit by Esoteric.All in all, highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy DaveAnother fine book on a rear subject.
