WARBIRDS WORLDWIDE

ISSUE # 19 (November 1991)

This quarterly publication is the official publication of the 'Warbirds Worldwide' organisation as a medium for the exchange of information and ideas amongst members and as a permanent record of the organisation.  Free to members the publication was available on subscription to the public.  The magazine is very professional in its format and printed on high quality glossed paper which enhances the photographic material, especially those in colour.  Running to between 44 and 60 pages (29.5cm x 21cm) the magazine contains a wealth of information which would be of interest to not only restorers but to anyone interested in military aviation, modelling or general military history.
