Featured Content & Highlights:

• Cover Art: Features a superb illustration of a camouflage Vickers "Warwick" Transport aircraft flying over the countryside.

Look out for the good times coming!" * Inside Ads: Includes an ad for FROG Model Aircraft (also promising a return after the war) and an incredible period ad for chemistry experiments to pass the time during "Black-out Evenings".
