Blood and Guts 2: British Aircraft of WWII

ADD TO WISHLIST >

There have been few, if any, times in history when a nation's air force proved as important as the British Royal Air Force did during the dark, early days of WWII. Europe lay at Hitler's feet and a British Expeditionary Force had fled the Nazi war machine at Dunkirk, leaving Hitler in control of Western Europe. Only one power remained defiant against him: Britain and their "war monger" leader (as Hitler would often describe him), Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

The Nazi plan for the invasion of Britain, Operation Sealion, required air supremacy to work, in order to counter British control of the seas. The resulting air battle, known to history as the Battle of Britain, has become one of the legendary air battles in the history of the world. It not only prevented Operation Sealion from being attempted, it was the first crack in the façade of Nazi invulnerability. This work provides statistics for the major British planes that fought for the British in WWII, allowing the game master to bring the Battle of Britain and many other famous air encounters into his Modern WWII games.

Includes the following aircraft: Albemarle (1940), Blackburn Roc (1939), Blackburn Skua (1938), Boulton Paul Defiant (1939), Bristol Beaufighter (1940), De Havilland Mosquito (1941), Fairey Albacore (1941), Fairey Barracuda (1943), Fairey Firefly (1943), Fairey Fulmar (1940), Fairey Swordfish (1939), Gloster Meteor (1944), Hawker Hurricane (1937), Hawker Typhoon (1941), Lancaster (1942), Supermarine Spitfire (1938), Westland Whirlwind (1940).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
