CONTENTS
207 TILT-WING IN TRANSITION The Canadair CL-84 tilt-wing research aircraft is the subject of renewed interest as a result of a joint Canadian/US/British test programme and a US Navy evaluation. As an outgrowth of this interest, the company has proposed an enlarged version, described here, for use from Sea Control Ships.
211 TOPSAILS FOR THE ARMADA If recently announced, controversial, plans to
acquire Hawker Siddeley Harriers go ahead, the Spanish Navy will become the first in the Western world to operate regularly the British VTOL fighter from a carrier. The recent growth of the air arm of the Spanish Navy is described in this feature.
216 FOR BUSINESSMEN WITH THE YEN Already successfully established in the highly competitive US business aircraft market, the Mu-2-the Japanese Mitsubishi concern's first indigenous aircraft design since World War II-is now gaining a foothold in Europe. Alan Bramson describes its history and characteristics.
225 SLAYER OF DRAGONS We describe, in the popular "Warbirds" series, the Kawasaki Ki.45 Toryu; an interesting attempt by the Air Headquarters of the Japanese Imperial Army to match Western steps to introduce a strategic fighter, combining high performance, heavy armament and long endurance.
231 THE CLASSIC HEINKEL As well as being one of the most outstanding warplanes of the mid 'thirties, the Heinkel He 111 became almost synonymous with the term Blitzkreig in the early war years as a result of its wide use by the Luftwaffe. Capt Eric Brown continues his contribution to the "Viewed from the Cockpit" series with a flying assessment of this bomber.
