Having launched the signature bomber for use in the European Theatre, Boeing embarked on a voyage into
the unknown. Bringing together numerous untried technologies the Boeing Aircraft Company launched its
most significant bomber, the B-29 Superfortress. Although beset by development problems and having
suffered the loss of the prototype and its Chief Test Pilot Eddie Allan, the company pushed on to create the
first long-range strategic bombers. Once the Pacific Islands had been captured the B-29 Bomb Groups
began bombing raids on the Japanese Home Islands. On the other side of the Himalayas further bomb
groups launched attacks against targets in Japan. As combat experience grew the focus turned to
destroying as much as possible of its production facilities, mainly by firebombing areas known to have
these targets. And then the world changed forever. The use of two atom bombs against Hiroshima and
Nagasaki had shown the power of the atom. When the Japanese finally surrendered the Cold War
arrived to take its place. War in Korea followed, being the swan song for the B-29 while its younger
sibling, the B-50, assumed the mantle of Strategic Defence, a position it held until the B-47 Stratojet
arrived. One of the largest aircraft of World War II, the B-29 remained in service in various roles throughout the
1950s, being retired in the early 1960s after 3,970 had been built. The Royal Air Force flew the B-29 with the service name
‘Washington from 1950 to 1954’ while the re-engined B-50 Superfortress Lucky Lady II became the first aircraft to fly around the world
non-stop, during a 94-hour flight in 1949. The Soviet Union produced 847 Tupolev Tu-4s, an unlicensed
reverse-engineered copy of the B-29. This latest in the essential Warpaint series offers a comprehensive look at
the famous bomber in all its guises, with history, development, service details, and colour artwork and scale plans
by Sam Pearson.

During the 1960s, Dassault commenced development of what would become the Mirage F1 as a private
venture, alongside the larger Mirage F2. Work on the F1 eventually took precedence over the more costly
F2, which was cancelled during the late 1960s. The Armée de l'Air took great interest in the fledgling F1 to
meet its requirement for an all-weather interceptor aircraft. The Mirage F1 was of similar size to the Mirage
III and Mirage 5 and was powered by the same SNECMA Atar engine that had been used on the
larger Dassault Mirage IV, however, unlike its predecessors, it had the layout of a swept wing, but mounted
high on the fuselage, and a conventional tail surface as used by the F2. Although it had a smaller wingspan
than the Mirage III, the Mirage F1 nevertheless proved to be superior to its predecessor, carrying more
fuel while possessing a shorter take-off run and greater manoeuvrability. This latest addition to the
Warpaint series includes all the usual reference and historical material that has made the series the go-
to source for modellers and aviation enthusiasts alike. This book is written by Andy Evans and is
superbly illustrated by Sam Pearson.
