Some are prewar seryice mod-
els that serYed at the beginning
of hostilities but were soon re-
placed, while others are more modern types
that, with continual upgrading, were able to
serue until the end. lt's interesting that very
few of the models that originated after the
onset of the war actually saw combat.
Some of these drawings were made dur-
ing the war when data was scarce or even
restricted,
but theiytre as accurate as pos-
ln fact, art-

cated subject isn't generally available to
modelers, so ltve devoted a section to these
markings (as obtained from official markings

I've also included a section on designa-
tions, which discusses the basics of the
various national designating systems. lt also
explains why an American-built airplane like
ist William Wylam drew some of them so
well that the U.S, Army took him to task for
being too accurate in depicting designs that
were still classified. As a result, he deliber-
ately included minor discrepancies in some
subsequent
drawings,
notably the vertical
tail of the B-29.
Some of these discrepancies are men-
tioned in the text that accompanies
each
airplane; each includes a brief history and
details of the plane's development and op-
