Major Mark Hammond was awarded the DFC, which ranks third after the VC, for remarkable feats in Afghanistan in his Chinook helicopter. Like the other Chinook pilots and crews, and the surgical teams who travelled with them, Major Hammond regularly put his own life in danger to save the lives of others. Three times on the night of 6 September 2006 he flew into hostile zones to pick up injured soldiers. During an attempt to land at the Para outpost in Musa Qala two rocket-propelled grenades passed within 10ft of his helicopter and four rounds hit it. He aborted the mission. On returning to Camp Bastion he found a new Chinook and made another trip, rescuing a soldier while still under heavy fire.\u003cbr\u003e\nImmediate Response is Major Mark Hammond's highly personal account of combat and provides readers with a vivid account of the brutal realities of war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67633529454891,"sku":"10130","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/immediate-response-by-major-mark-hammond-new-2009-first-edition-hardback_10130_main_original.jpg?v=1791001733"},{"product_id":"british-naval-aircraft-since-1912-by-owen-thetford-1982-very-good","title":"British Naval Aircraft since 1912 by Owen Thetford: 1982 very good","description":"\u003cp\u003eDJ: Very Good with some wear to spine head and a very small tear on the top fold  over the rear board.

Only a few hundred were built before it was withdrawn from front-line service in 1953.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663288140075,"sku":"10404","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/pilot-s-notes-blackburn-firebrand-tfv-fleet-air-arm-fighter-bomber-with-added-value-infor_10404_main_original.jpg?v=1791211088"},{"product_id":"pilots-notes-fairey-barracuda-ii-iii-torpedo-bomber-with-added-value-information-pack-i","title":"PILOTS NOTES: FAIREY BARRACUDA II \u0026 III TORPEDO BOMBER with ADDED VALUE INFORMATION PACK i","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Air Ministry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Air Council\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePagination: 10+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Digital\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePilot's Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAP No. 2108B \u0026amp; C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal publisher:  Air Ministry (Air Data Publications, by permission)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal pub. date: February 1945\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAeroplane: Barracuda II \u0026amp; III\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine(s): Merlin 32\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Descriptive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFuel, etc\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMain services\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAircraft Controls\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEngine controls\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCockpit equipment\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOperational controls\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: Handling Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart III: Operational data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart IV: Emergencies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart V: Illustrations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Glossy photo of the aircraft\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFuel system graphic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument panel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit, port \u0026amp; stbd\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663329362219,"sku":"10436","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/pilots-notes-fairey-barracuda-ii-iii-torpedo-bomber-with-added-value-information-pack-i_10436_main_original.jpg?v=1791211314"},{"product_id":"pilot-s-notes-hellcat-i-ii-faa-fighter-bomber-plus-added-value-information-pack-incl-ful","title":"PILOT'S NOTES: HELLCAT I,II FAA FIGHTER-BOMBER plus ADDED VALUE INFORMATION PACK incl.

By the end of the war, almost 3,000 Allied ships (175 warships, 2,825 merchantmen) had been sunk by U-boats.[1] The Imperial Japanese Navy operated the most varied fleet of submarines of any navy, including Kaiten crewed torpedoes, midget submarines (Type A Ko-hyoteki and Kairyu classes), medium-range submarines, purpose-built supply submarines and long-range fleet submarines.

The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 carrier fighter (零式艦上戦闘機 rei-shiki-kanjō-sentōki), or the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen. The A6M was usually referred to by its pilots as the \"Reisen\" (zero fighter), \"0\" being the last digit of the imperial year 2600 (1940) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy. The official Allied reporting name was \"Zeke\", although the use of the name \"Zero\" was later adopted by the Allies as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zero was considered the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world when it was introduced early in World War II, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range.[2] The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS) also frequently used it as a land-based fighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn early combat operations, the Zero gained a legendary reputation as a dogfighter,[3] achieving an outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1,[4] but by mid-1942 a combination of new tactics and the introduction of better equipment enabled Allied pilots to engage the Zero on generally equal terms.[5] By 1943, due to inherent design weaknesses and an inability to equip it with a more powerful aircraft engine, the Zero gradually became less effective against newer Allied fighters. By 1944, with opposing Allied fighters approaching its levels of maneuverability and consistently exceeding its firepower, armor, and speed, the A6M had largely become outdated as a fighter aircraft. However, due to design delays and production difficulties, which hampered the introduction of newer Japanese aircraft models, the Zero continued to serve in a front line role until the end of the war in the Pacific. During the final phases, it was also adapted for use in kamikaze operations.[6] Japan produced more Zeros than any other model of combat aircraft during the war.[7]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663366095147,"sku":"10488","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/mitsubishi-zero-sen-zeke-52-profile-236-incl-cutaway-3-view-9-extra-pages_10488_main_original.jpg?v=1791211677"},{"product_id":"pilot-s-notes-spitfire-va-vb-vc-seafires-with-added-value-information-pack","title":"PILOT'S NOTES: SPITFIRE VA,VB,VC\/SEAFIRES with ADDED VALUE INFORMATION PACK","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Air Ministry + various\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Air Council + various\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePagination: 10+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Digital\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk V was produced in greater numbers than any other single mark of Spitfire. It was the main version of the fighter during 1941, replacing the Mk I and II in service in time to take part in the first British counterattacks over France. During the summer of 1941 it held an advantage over the Bf 109, but in September 1941 the Fw 190 made its operation debut, and the Mk V found itself outclassed. Despite this, it remained the main RAF fighter until the summer of 1942, and the low level LF.Mk V remained in use into 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Front view of Spitfire Mk VC AR501  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFront view of \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpitfire Mk VC AR501\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk V had been designed as an interim mark. The Mk III saw a redesign of the basic fuselage, to carry the more powerful Merlin XX engine. However, that engine was in short supply, and the internal changes in the Mk III would have delayed production. Rolls-Royce had continued work on the Merlin, producing the Merlin 45. This engine produced 1,515 hp at 11,000 feet. It could easily fit in a Mk I or II fuselage, allowing aircraft already under production to be converted to the new standard. Later in the run the similar Merlin 46, 50 and 50A engines were also used in the Mk V. However, while the Merlin XX had a two speed supercharger (one for low altitude and one of high altitude), the Merlin 45 only had the high altitude supercharger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first Mk V was produced in January 1941, and tests proved it to be very nearly as good as the Mk III, but without the extra complexity involved in that version. In March 1941 it was decided to produce the Mk V instead of the Mk III. The type had already entered production by this stage, with No. 92 squadron being the first to receive it in February 1941.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduction was initially divided between the Va with the eight machine gun “a” wing (94 built) and the Vb with the “b” wing of two 20mm cannon and four machine guns. Its main opponent over the summer of 1941 would be the Bf 109F. This was probably the best version of the Bf 109 fighter, and very similar to the Spitfire V. This time it was the Spitfire that was better at high altitude and the Bf 109 at low altitude, and the Spitfire Vb that was the more heavily armed (the Bf 109F-2 carried one 15mm cannon and two 7.9mm (.311 inch) machine guns). However, in 1941 the Mk V was used in the various types of missions over France, known as “leaning over the channel”, which saw Spitfire losses mount for little practical return. This time it was the RAF that lost every pilot shot down, with many experienced pilots being taken into captivity on these missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Spitfire Mk Vc of No.92 Squadron at Gibraltar \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpitfire Mk Vc \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eof No.92 Squadron \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eat Gibraltar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn October 1941 the Mk Vc appeared. This used the universal “c” wing developed for the Mk III, which could carry either eight machine guns, four 20mm cannon or two cannon and four machine guns. The two cannon\/ four machine gun combination was most common, as the four cannon version was significantly heavier, reducing performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk V saw the first appearance of the F (fighter) and LF (Low level Fighter) designations. LF Mk Vs used modified Merlin 45M, 50M and 55M engines that produced their best power at lower altitudes. With the appearance of the LF Mk V, the standard Mk V became the F. Mk V. The LF Mk V could reach 355 mph at 5,900 feet, making it as quick as the Fw 190 and faster than the Bf 109G. The Mk V also saw the introduction of drop tanks to carry extra fuel, initially a 30 gallon model and later a 80 gallon version. It was also the first Spitfire to be adapted to carry bombs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fw 190 appeared in September 1941, and outclassed the Spitfire V. Several changes were made to the Mk V to improve its chances against the new German fighter while the RAF waited for the improved Mk IX, VI or VII to arrive. One of the most significant was the long awaited arrival of a carburettor designed to work properly under negative-G, which much improved the dog fighting ability of the Mk V. Despite these changes, the Fw 190 remained a superior aircraft On 1 June 1942 during a raid on northern Belgium the Fw 190s shot down eight Spitfires for no lose. The next day another raid suffered just as badly, when seven Spitfires were shot down for no return. Raids over northern Europe would have to wait for the arrival of the Mk IX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk V was the first Spitfire to be used in large numbers outside Britain. The first such deployment came on 7 March 1942, when fifteen Mk Vbs were delivered to Malta in Operation Spotter. This operation also saw the Spitfire launched from an aircraft carrier. On Malta the Spitfire was used to hold off the Bf 109F, while the Hurricane attacked the lower level bombers. Loses were heavy. Despite a second delivery of Spitfires on 21 March, by the end of 23 March there were only five serviceable fighters on Malta. HMS Eagle, the carrier used to deliver them had now been damaged, and so the next attempt to reinforce Malta was launched by the U.S.S. Wasp. This time 46 Spitfire Vcs were ferried to Malta on 13 April in Operation Calendar. Sadly, many of these aircraft were destroyed in German bombing raids, launched to coincide with their arrival. It would take one more major supply effort, Operation Bowery, to properly boost the defences of Malta. This time sixty Spitfires reached Malta, and the island was ready for them. The same Spitfires that had just flown in were now scrambled to deal with the inevitable incoming raid. Operation Bowery helped to ensure the survival of Malta, thus playing a major role in the successful allied campaigns in North Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second overseas theatre to receive the Spitfire was North Africa. The delivery route to Egypt saw aircraft shipped to the west coast of Africa, and then flown across the continent in ten stages to Egypt. This was a slow route, and the first Spitfire squadron only became operation in May 1941. This was just in time to take part in the retreat to Egypt in the summer of 1941. After that the Spitfire Vc took part in the air battles that accompanied the battle of El Alamein, flying top cover to protect ground attack aircraft from the Bf 109Fs of the German desert air force. Their presence helped maintain allied air superiority over the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk V also saw service in the Far East. Three squadrons were based at Darwin, on the northern coast of Australia from January 1943. The several conditions they faced at Darwin did not suit the Spitfire, which suffered a series of mechanical problems in the hot humid tropical environment. Despite these problems, the Spitfire proved itself able to catch the Mitsubishi Ki-46 “Dinah” reconnaissance aircraft, which had previously been too high and too fast to be caught by the aircraft previously in northern Australia. The Spitfire V’s tropical filters caused a significant deterioration in performance, the aircraft themselves had suffered on the long voyage, and their condition worsened in part because spare parts were rare. The Mk V had a short combat career in India. Three squadrons moved to the Burma front in November 1943, but in February 1944 they were replaced by the Mk VIII, which was exclusively used in the Mediterranean and Far Eastern theatres.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663373041963,"sku":"10505","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/pilot-s-notes-spitfire-va-vb-vc-seafires-with-added-value-information-pack_10505_main_original.jpg?v=1791211791"},{"product_id":"grumman-avenger-as4-5-lend-lease-strike-aircraft-with-added-value-info-pack-download","title":"Grumman Avenger AS4\/5 Lend-lease Strike Aircraft with Added Value Info Pack\/ Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Air Ministry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Air Council\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePagination: 10+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Digital\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grumman TBF Avenger (designated TBM for aircraft manufactured by General Motors) is an American torpedo bomber developed initially for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, and eventually used by several air and naval aviation services around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Avenger entered U.S. service in 1942, and first saw action during the Battle of Midway.

In concept, it is relatively comparable to the Hawker Sea Hurricane, a navalised version of the Spitfire's stablemate, the Hawker Hurricane. The name Seafire had been derived from the abbreviation of the longer name Sea Spitfire.[2]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea of adopting a navalised carrier-capable version of the Supermarine Spitfire had been mooted by the Admiralty as early as May 1938. Despite a pressing need to replace various types of obsolete aircraft that were still in operation with the Fleet Air Arm (FAA), some opposed the notion, such as Winston Churchill, although these disputes were often a result of an overriding priority being placed on maximising production of land-based Spitfires instead. During 1941 and early 1942, the concept was again pushed for by the Admiralty, cumulating in an initial batch of Seafire Mk Ib fighters being provided in late 1941, which were mainly used for pilots to gain experience operating the type at sea. While there were concerns over the low strength of its undercarriage, which had not been strengthened like many naval aircraft would have been, its performance was found to be acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1942 onwards, further Seafire models were quickly ordered, including the first operationally-viable Seafire F Mk III variant. This led to the type rapidly spreading throughout the FAA. In November 1942, the first combat use of the Seafire occurred during Operation Torch, the Allied landings in North Africa. In July 1943, the Seafire was used to provide air cover for the Allied invasion of Sicily; and reprised this role in September 1943 during the subsequent Allied invasion of Italy. During 1944, the type was again used in quantity to provide aerial support to Allied ground forces during the Normandy landings and Operation Dragoon in Southern France. During the latter half of 1944, the Seafire became a part of the aerial component of the British Pacific Fleet, where it quickly proved to be a capable interceptor against the feared kamikaze attacks by Japanese pilots which had become increasingly common during the final years of the Pacific War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663394963755,"sku":"10531","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/pilot-s-notes-seafire-47-royal-navy-carrier-based-fighter-with-multi-page-added-value-inf_10531_main_original.jpg?v=1791211984"},{"product_id":"pilot-s-notes-seafire-xv-xvii-royal-navy-carrier-borne-fighter-with-added-value-informa","title":"PILOT'S NOTES: SEAFIRE XV \u0026 XVII ROYAL NAVY CARRIER-BORNE FIGHTER with ADDED VALUE INFORMA","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Air Ministry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Air Council\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePagination: 10+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Digital\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeafire during Fleet Air Arm trials aboard HMS Victorious, 23–25 September 1942\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring late 1941 and early 1942, the Admiralty again assessed the Spitfire for possible conversion. In late 1941, a total of 48 Spitfire Mk Vb were converted by Air Training Service Ltd. at Hamble to become \"hooked Spitfires\". This was the Seafire Mk Ib and would be the first of several Seafire variants to reach the Fleet Air Arm. This version of the Seafire was mainly used to allow the Royal Navy to gain experience in operating the Spitfire on aircraft carriers. The main structural change was made to the lower rear fuselage which incorporated an A-frame style arrestor hook and strengthened lower longerons.[1] It was soon discovered that the fuselage, especially around hatches, was too weak for carrier operations. In an attempt to alleviate this condition, reinforcing strips were riveted around hatch openings and along the main fuselage longerons.[7]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663395160363,"sku":"10532","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/pilot-s-notes-seafire-xv-xvii-royal-navy-carrier-borne-fighter-with-added-value-informa_10532_main_original.jpg?v=1791211992"},{"product_id":"pilot-s-notes-us-navy-k-type-airship-128-page-flying-instructions-september-1942-with-ad","title":"PILOT'S NOTES: US NAVY K-TYPE AIRSHIP\/ 128 PAGE FLYING INSTRUCTIONS SEPTEMBER 1942 with AD","description":"","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663406760235,"sku":"10556","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/pilot-s-notes-us-navy-k-type-airship-128-page-flying-instructions-september-1942-with-ad_10556_main_original.jpg?v=1791212169"},{"product_id":"supermarine-seafires-merlins-profile-221-36-pages-large-cutaway-download","title":"SUPERMARINE SEAFIRES (MERLINS): PROFILE #221\/ 36 PAGES + LARGE CUTAWAY\/ DOWNLOAD","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Len Bachelor + Various\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Profile Publishing + Various\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePagination: 36\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Digital\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile Publications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA series, first published in the 1960s, of over 200 booklets in b\u0026amp;w with colour illustrations.
