351 IL-28, A SOVIET "CANBERRA" A detailed description, together with the first cutaway drawing to be published, of the initial Soviet jet bomber to go into service - an aeroplane as significant and at least as widely used as the British Canberra.

359 THE NOT-SO-ANCIENT MARINER The McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is still in production, nearly 20 years after the project began life in Ed Heinemann's project office at El Segundo. The latest version to enter service, the A-4M for the US Marine Corps, is described and illustrated, with a new cutaway drawing, and the operation of the type by other services is outlined in this detailed account.
367 VFW 614 Germany's first post-war jet airliner is now in the flight test stage after a lengthy and difficult development period. The set-backs which have had to be overcome by the designers of this ultra-short-haul turbofan transport are fully described in this feature, and the aircraft is illustrated by photographs and a new cutaway drawing.
373 TALKBACK Readers of AIR ENTHUSIAST offer comments of general interest.
374 THE UBIQUITOUS HAWK Part Il of the "Warbirds" feature which began last month describes the operational use of the Curtiss Hawk and P-36 family made by the USAAC and describes its selection by the French Air Force, which began to take deliveries in 1939. The flying characteristics of the Hawk 75A are compared with those of the early Spitfire in this instalment.
