At no time has the interest in aircraft of World War Two been as great as it is today. Already many books have been published in this country on the main combat planes of the period, Allied and Enemy alike, and scale-model aircraft kits are equally numerous. Yet the enthusiasts everywhere seem to be demanding more information on this absorbing subject every day.
The most frequent plea is for information about the operational histories of World War Two aircraft rather than merely their development histories. because the latter have, in many cases, already been adequately recorded. Coupled with this is an ever-increasing demand for colour illustrations of the subjects described-and indications are that this requirement is by no means confined to modellers, for many non-'kit bashers' apparently derive great pleasure from seeing famous aircraft of yesteryear recreated by a skilful artist. It is in an attempt to meet these two present-day requirements that this series of books, Men and Machines, is being produced .
