The Aviation Historian Magazine Issue 36 Edição anterior

English

Hawker’s iconic Hunter jet fighter was not only popular with its pilots and with the public — it was also a commercial success, exported to 22 nations over the course of a flying career spanning six decades. The cover story of this 36th quarterly issue of The Aviation Historian describes how, almost 30 years into that career, Switzerland reinvented the Hunter as a ground-attacker, equipped with the latest air-to-ground weaponry. Also in this issue, Prof Keith Hayward examines the notorious Westland Affair of 1985–86; Ralph Pegram questions whether 1930s flying-boat travel was really as glamorous as it appeared; Mark Russell explains why the RAF stuck with 0·303in machine-gun ammunition well into WW2; and the late Melvyn Hiscock considers an intriguing photo-reconnaissance Spitfire “what-if?”. All this, and much more — including a bizarre Edwardian attempt to build a flying house — is illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork.
