HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 13 March , 2005 Share Posted 13 March , 2005 "The Royal Aircraft Factory" by Paul R. Hare, published by Putnam Aeronautical books, ISBN 0-85177-843-7. Would that be the same book as Planes/Aircraft of the RAF[Royal Aircraft Factory]I saw this book @ a Remainder sale in Wisbech this Saturday But sadly didn't pay too much attention,I only remember it as the Title caught my Eye amongst all the Encyclopedic Military Books,but the D/J looked interesting with WW1 Fighters etc on it I must write 1000 times: Must pay attention @ Book Sales In Future! sorry!

Guest birdflightless Posted 13 March , 2005 Share Posted 13 March , 2005 Harrybetts, I think the book that you saw could have been a different publication. The Putnam's full title is as quoted. The dust jacket has a reproduction of a painting by Keith Woodcock, depicting a F.E.2b engaging an Albatros D III over France. Is this remainder sale a regular event?, I will be working around that area for ten days soon, it would be nice to have somthing to do with my spare time.

HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 13 March , 2005 Share Posted 13 March , 2005 Sadly No,They do other areas but only come to the wilds of Wisbech around twice a year!,The Book must have been a different title as it had Photographs of RE8s? & Other aircraft with the factory in the Background,as a sort of "Pastiche" the D/J was dark green in colour!,and a large 10" x 8" type format,I wish I'd bought it now!!
