RAF at war in the South East Asian Combat Theatre (0/0 people found this helpful)

In the 23th issue of the Osprey/Airwar series the focus is on the exploits of the RAF Combat Units in the South East Asian Combat Theatre (SEAC) during the period 1941-1945. In a mere 48 pages you get the history of the RAF units in this theatre of war during ww2, illustrated with both photographs and drawings. To top it off, an extract is been given in both French and German in the last two pages, as is the usual practice in this Osprey series. Compared with their earlier Aircam series there is less photographs and more text, but the text is far better than the earlier series to which this is a great source of added background material for the modeller, as is the other way around for the historian.
