Douglas Boston / Havoc in RAF Service in North-Western Europe — the twenty-eighth volume of the Wingleader Photo Archive series on two very different careers of one American type in British service.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a photographic publication for modelers and aviation historians, not a kit. The twenty-eighth volume of the numbered Photo Archive series of the British publisher Wingleader was written by Andrew Thomas and, according to the box, keeps to operations in north-western Europe.
The Douglas DB-7 was originally ordered by France, and after her fall Britain took over the undelivered machines. The RAF made two quite different aircraft out of them. As the Boston the type served with day light bomber squadrons: attacks on targets in occupied Europe from low altitude and the laying of smoke screens during the landing at Dieppe were among its best known tasks. The machines that were not suited to day bombing were converted into the Havoc — night fighters and intruders. Some were given radar, others a searchlight in the nose, and they were to work in pairs with Hurricanes to track down German bombers over England. Both names belong to the same basic airframe, which can be seen clearly in the photographs.
For modelers who build the Boston or the Havoc in British form and need to tell the two guises of the type apart, along with their camouflage and markings. It will appeal to readers interested in the night war over Britain as well.
