Churchill Mk.III GLUABLE RUBBER TRACKS - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS SHEET
1 FIGURE INCLUDED
The Churchill medium tank came into service with the British Army in 1942 to support and replace the earlier Valentines, Matildas and Crusaders, which, by then, were all outdated and inadequate in terms of both armor and weaponry, easily falling prey to the more advanced German tanks. Equipped with thick armor and a reliable engine, it proved to be tough and dependable, later being produced in ever-more efficient, upgraded versions. Its chassis was also used as a platform for specialized support vehicles such as the mine clearer, the bridge layer and the flame-thrower.

Boeing B-17 Fortress in RAF Service by Andrew Thomas and Simon W Parry
Paperback
Pages: 72

approx 120 photos and 6 colour profiles
Before America declared war, Churchill was keen to get US aircraft into the RAF, if only for propaganda. In the autumn of 1940 the British tried to buy some B-17s, but were told that the few B-17s available were all earmarked for the USAAC. However, they were persuaded to part with 20 B-17s for operational trials, the results of which would be reported on by American 'Observers' based with the squadron. The B-17Cs were used by 90 Squadron to trial high-altitude bombing, but were not a success.
The B-17 was next tried with RAF Coastal Command as a long range maritime patrol aircraft. By this time the more advanced Mk.II was available (Based on the B-17E and F), with the distinctive dorsal fin fillet and redesigned armament. Again, the B-17 didn't suit this role very well, but it saw more widespread service than in the bomber role.
The final RAF use of the B-17 was with 100 Group in the Radio Counter-Measures role. This time the airframes were mainly based on the B-17G and known as the Fortress Mk.III. Their task was to fly above the bomber stream over the target area and disrupt the enemy radio communications via a wide array of electronic devices. This they did very well from spring 1944 right up until the end of WW2.
