Synopsis
Showcases over 350 detailed artworks of Rolls-Royce Merlin-powered Spitfires, from prototype to late-war Seafires, featuring RAF aces and Allied color schemes. Supermarine's iconic Spitfire needs little introduction - its graceful lines and remarkable combat record during the Second World War speak for themselves. Rolls-Royce Merlin-powered Spitfire Mk Is fought their way through the Battle of Britain during the summer and autumn of 1940 with the Mk II, incorporating a more powerful Merlin, being introduced in the meantime.As the war progressed, the Spitfire underwent an intensive programme of upgrades and enhancements as well as modifications to expand its capabilities. Unarmed Merlin-powered photo reconnaissance Spitfires flew hazardous missions over occupied Europe and Germany, while the Seafire, a navalised Spitfire, was operated from Royal Navy carriers in the Far East. In Europe, the Mk Is and IIs gave way to the Mk V and then the world-beating Mk IX before the last major Merlin-powered Spitfire, the Mk XVI, was introduced. While some later marks of Spitfire would receive Rolls-Royce Griffon engines, it is undoubtedly the Merlin variants that bore the brunt of the action and which are the most fondly remembered today.In Ronny Bar Profiles - Spitfire The Merlin Variants , renowned profile artist Ronny Bar presents an exciting and colourful selection of more than 350 highly detailed artworks, most created specifically for this book, showcasing the full range of Rolls-Royce Merlin-powered variants from the original Type 300 prototype, K5054, to the late-war Seafires. Aircraft of RAF aces including Robert Stanford Tuck, Alan Deere, 'Sailor' Malan and Douglas Bader are included as well as colour schemes worn by Spitfires in service with Allied forces around the world. Bar's love of Spitfires clearly shines through in his incredible attention to historical accuracy throughout this fascinating and illuminating collection., Says Ronny Bar, mostly known for doing all the Profile Artwork for the Peter Jackson's now legendary Wingnut Wings kit manufacturing company, as well as for his three previous books on airplanes of World War I. Here now he brings a new profiles book on a whole new topic: The Supermarine Spitfire. This book covers all the Merlin-powered variants of this, arguably, the most famous airplane of World War II.

    The book Kiss Clara For Me arrived in about 4-5 days like they said. The book was in a heavy cardboard container. Inside this cardboard container was wrapped in bubble wrap. Inside that the book was wrapped in a tissue paper. So Very Professional. With the care they gave to sending this book it arrived in a Beautiful condition. I would certainly buy from "Between the Covers-Rare books again. The Value of the book was very good for this rare find. Appearance was exactly like they described

    I've been a customer at For The Historian's bookstore in Gettysburg many times but this was my first eBay purchase from them. The magazine was brand new, as described, and the shipping cost was reasonable. They shipped the magazine promptly and it was very well packed in a cardboard sleeve. I'll definitely buy from this seller again.
