Nick Stroud’s  ‘The Aviation Historian’ provides insights into little known aspects of the world of aircraft. In Issue 15 you can read about Britain’s other cold war VTOL fighter, the Predator (remember that?). Issue 16 tells the story of the West’s strategic reconnaissance Soviet Union over-flight programme in which Hawker’s Technical Sales Manager, the late John Crampton, played a leading part, and of Willard Custer’s channel wing STOL aircraft which was so nearly a commercial success. And in Issue 17 you can read about Stefan Karwowski and his red Hunter, G-HUNT. There are, of course, dozens of other enthralling articles with which to settle down in these long winter evenings.
