7 INDIA AND THE MIG-21 Fifteen
years after they took shape on drawing boards 10,000 miles apart, the MiG-21 and the Lockheed F-104 met in combat for the first time over the Gulf of Kutch. The event came as locally-produced MiG-21s of the Indian Air Force resisted the attacks of the Pakistan Air Force - operations which are fully described in this account of Indian production and use of the MiG-21, by our local correspondent, Pushpindar Chopra.
15 TRISTAR - THROUGH TRIBULA-
TION TO TRIUMPH The Lockheed TriStar, launched in 1968 on a wave of enthusiasm as the aeroplane that would restore Lockheed's commercial status, nearly broke the company two years later - and the effort to produce its RB.211 engines took Rolls Royce Ltd over the brink of bankruptcy. Now, the TriStar is emerging triumphantly from its period of tribulation, as related in detail in these pages.

30 WHIRLWIND - FIRST OF THE
FOUR-CANNON FIGHTERS It wasn't one of World War I Is most successful fighters, but the Westland Whirlwind was of special interest on several counts, and not least because it was designed to a farsighted official specification which, written in 1935, called for the then exceptionally heavy armament of four 20-mm cannon. The Whirlwind is fully described here in our "Warbirds" series, with a new cutaway drawing, and H A "Tony" Taylor contributes a "Viewed from the Cockpit" item.
