    It was about time, I thought, to subscribe to this special English Club! Not only was I interested in this ‘Official Club’ because of my love for piston engine sounds, but moreover is my membership a tribute to those who fought, fell and survived during the Second World War for the freedom we nowadays still […]

    224th Review US Navy PBY Catalina Units of The Atlantic War The Consolidated Aircraft Corporation’s PBY Catalina is a perfect example of the demands that evolving technologies make on corporations, and the creative and engineering process.

    One of the things I love about this group is finding out about books and authors I’ve previously either not heard of or know little about. This work by  Peter Lewis is something I knew nothing about and I’m totally ashamed to admit that, I’ve seen Peters aviation shots before on select Facebook groups but […]
