Profile Publications - famous for numerous pamphlets covering
a variety of vehicles - from warships to armored vehicles -
created a fascinating collection of 262 aircraft
profiles. Each of the issues highlights a single
aircraft and gives full details about its
capabilities and specifications. Each issue also includes
a variety of photos & illustrations showcasing the various variants at different
angles.
Early (red) pamphlets typically ran 12 pages, while later (blue or
blue-on-white) issues contained up to 24 pages. Typically contains 30 -
40 b&w photos;
Color illustrations - at centerfold of booklet.
Booklet Guidance For This Listing:
[1] Original, classic (pink) issues of Profile Aircraft (sized 9" x 7") published in 1960s
[2] Larger, pink editions (sized approx. 10" x 7.5") published in the early 1970s, produced to comport in size to the then-newly introduced series of booklets, #205 - #262.
[3] Larger blue editions (sized approx. 10" x 7.5", published in 1980s) numbered below #205 are revisions to the original, classic publication. From my examination, content - particularly graphics & photos - are unchanged from the original editions.
