215 HARNESSING THE STORM SPIRIT One of the least-publicised combat aircraft in operational service today is India's indigenous HF-24 Marut. The long development process and the current operational status of the Marut are fully described in this extensive account from our Indian correspondent Pushpindar Chopra.
223 HS.1182 - A HAWK FOR YOUNG BIRDMEN The Hawker Siddeley HS.1182 is under development as the RAF's future basic trainer and is expected to remain in service at least until the end of the century. In this issue we present the first cutaway drawing and detailed description of the HS.1182.
229 YAKOVLEV'S LIGHTWEIGHT
THE YAK-23 In the mid fifties, the diminutive Folland Gnat attracted wide interest and much favourable comment for reversing the trend towards ever-moresophisticated and expensive fighters. But before the Gnat flew, the Soviet Air Force had already put into service a fighter - the lightweight Yak-23 - which matched it in almost every design aspect. Our "War-birds" features tells the story for the first time.
234 UNLUCKY SEVEN The de Havil-
land Albatross four-engined airliner of 1937 was, and still, is, one of the aesthetically most pleasing of aircraft designs. It held great promise, but fate conspired otherwise, and as this account reveals, the seven examples built suffered more than a fair share of ill-fortune during the half-decade between the first and last flights of an Albatross.
241 FLYING THE GEODETIC GIANT
H A Taylor describes, in our "Viewed from the Cockpit" series, the characteristics of the Vickers-Armstrongs Wellington, the most noteworthy aeroplane to make use of the Barnes Wallis geodetic construction principles.
245 THE UNDECLARED AIR WAR It
was known to those involved as "the Nomonhan Incident" but to the world at large it didn't exist. It was an undeclared war, but none-the-less real for the thousands of troops involved and it brought Japanese and Soviet airmen into violent conflict over the Khalkhin Gol. A detailed account, to be published in three parts, is presented by our Japanese correspondent Eiichiro Sekigawa.
