SPITFIRE AND MESSERSCHMITT Bf 109 

 
Devised and illustrated by David Hawcock

Text by Ann Tilbury
 

Published in 1990 by Simon and Schuster Young Books, this 28 page book is really aimed at getting children interested in a very important period of history and in building two historically significant aeroplanes by cutting and glueing together the marked pieces in this book, which are accompanied by detailed instructions. Ann Tilbury has written 13 pages about World War 2 and how events unfolded around the Battle of Britain, looking in particular at the aircraft and fighter pilots involved in the conflict. The text has only black and white illustrations, but the actual card pages containing the pieces (devised and illustrated by David Hawcock) to cut out for the planes are in colour.
