FlyPast  |  August 2016
The new FlyPast is in UK shops now! In the latest issue we take a close look at Gloster Javelin operations in the Cold War. Michael Napier describes the career of this powerful all-weather delta, a British warrior that is often overlooked in the history books. Our Spotlight section also examines a sometimes forgotten hero, the Douglas Boston, including exclusive artwork and rarely seen images.
