World War II and FlyPast

World War II - January/February 2012
This issue touches on US knowledge of the Katyn Killings in Poland, an interview with the writer of Isaac's Army - a book on the Warsaw killings, articles on McGovern's WWII activity, Normandy today, Ridgway, Japanese subs, German wartime resistance to the Nazis, knick-knacks made by soldiers in theater, a King Neptune equator-crossing ceremony on a Naval ship, the German Heinkel He 111 medium bomber, book/DVD/exhibit reviews and a what if essay on what if the Omaha Beach landing had failed.

Good articles, intelligent but not too detailed.  A few personal recollection pieces.  Good illustrations and photos not often seen around.

FlyPast - December 2012
Includes a calendar for 2013.  
Aviation heritage news.  An article on WW2 fighter pilot Rupert Clerke, the "Vintage Pair", Arthur Aaron VC recipient, the use of Radio-Controlled glide bombs in support of the Normandy landings, flight of a restored de Havilland Mosquito, and a multiple article spotlight on the Lockheed Hudson.  An article on a 100 year old Blackburn Monoplane, the Shoreham airshow, “Action Stations”, Royal Naval Air Station Burscough, and restoration of a de Havilland Moth VH-ULM.

Loads of photos and lots of detailed articles.  This one will keep you busy for a while.
