7 ... BETWEEN DAF AND DAIMLER The Royal Netherlands Air Force has recently phased into service the Northrop NF-5, to the delight of pilots who had previously been flying F-84F Thunderstreak fighter-bombers. Their enthusiastic reception for the new mount is reflected in the account published here - with colour illustrations.
11 B-1 : DETERRENT OR DODO? Major Gerald T Morris, USAF, recounts the story of the North American B-1 supersonic strategic bomber now under construction in Los Angeles and a candidate for production as a B-52 replacement later in the present decade. The illustrations include an exclusive new cutaway drawing by AIR ENTHUSIAST artist John Weal.
17 NAKAJIMA DEMONOLOGY : THE STORY OF THE SHOKI An account of the development and operational use of the Nakajima Ki 44 Shoki (Demon), one of Japan's significant new combat aircraft of World War II, is given in this "Warbirds" feature, which includes a new cutaway drawing and a page of colour profiles.
26 VETERAN AND VINTAGE Among the groups seeking to preserve vintage aircraft in Australia is the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group, whose president, J A Vella, here contributes an account of the founding of the Moorabbin Air Museum.
27 THOSE VERSATILE VULTEES The first aeroplane to bear the Vultee name was, for its day, an advanced all metal monoplane design to provide swift transportation for the passengers accommodated comfortably in a totally-enclosed cabin. As our account of the Vultee V-1 shows, its success in this role was only partial, but it also provided the basis for the more widely used V-11 and V-12 military models (illustrated by cutaway drawings) which enjoyed chequered careers.
33 THE WESTLAND LYSANDER H A Taylor, continuing his series of recollections in our "Viewed from the Cockpit" series, describes the unusual pleasures of flying this early example of a STOL design.
