Review:
Secondo volume di questa
serie, segue la stessa impostazione del primo: una breve
storia dell'impiego operativo dell'A-4 nell'IAF,
suddivisa per reparti, e una buona copertura
iconografica per gli aspetti araldici. E'
particolarmente interessante la variety delle versioni
impiegate, considerando anche le modifiche locali come
I'estensione del condotto di scarico, applicata
retroattivamente anche agli esemplari piu anziani. La
descrizione tecnica approfondita e la trattazione
sistematica delle versioni esulano comunque dallo scopo
di questo volume e rendono praticamente indispensabile
proseguire la ricerca altrove.

This is the second
title in `The IAF Aircraft Series' and it offers a mass of colour
profiles and information on this type's use by the IAF. Narrative is
restricted to an introduction to
the type, a breakdown of the versions operated by the IAF and then a
very brief history of each squadron. The squadron sections include a
colour badge, and then a number of colour side profiles of A-4s
operated by them. Both colour and B&W photographs of these machines
are also included. The final sections deal with in-flight refuelling
of the type as well as notable dates and events in the history of the
A-4s use by the IAF. A single-page section at the back of the title
offers notes and colour chips for the type, along with details of
decals and conversions suitable for the IAF A-4 and a list of
recommended kits.
This is another excellent title from AD Graphics, and one I am sure
will be of great interest to all IAF fans.
