Airframe Extra No.8 Air War Over Italy Valiant Wings Publishing Continuing with their series of Airframe Extra Books, the latest title Number 8 deals with The Air War Over Italy, in the period Sept 1943 to May 1945. The conflict in Italy is often overlooked when compared to the D-Day landings and conflict in France & Germany. In fact veterans of the campaign were referred to as D-Day dodgers. The war in Italy though was often hard and brutal and this reviewer in particular has been told so as my Granddad fought in the dessert and up through Italy. Like other theatres of WWII air power played a significant part. This book is 82 pages in an A4 softcover format. Following the other books of the series it breaks down to sections on History, 19 pages of aircraft profiles from all combatants; and 7 models of aircraft from the period. The colour artwork features many aircraft taking part; The six models features in this volume are; Special Hobby 1/72 Martin Baltimore Mk.V Eduard 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXC "late version" Profipak.
