'Aircraft of the Aces: Men and Legends'
[Delprado Publishers/Osprey Publishing, ISSN ?]
Published from 1999 to 2001. This was a series of 60 booklets published fortnightly. Every second issue included a 1/100 scale diecast metal model of an aircraft - usually related to the subject of the booklet. The booklets were abridged versions of the original Osprey editions, with the same cover artwork but with the number of pages reduced from 96 to 64, and featured 150+ illustrations - including 12 pages of colour drawings. Later editions included subjects from the Osprey 'Combat Aircraft' series of unit and aircraft type histories as well as from 'Aircraft of the Aces'. The majority of booklets concentrated on WW2 subjects but Korea, Vietnam and eventually WW1 were also included.
The complete collection thus comprised 60 booklets, 60 aircraft models, 60 triple index cards related to the aircraft models and 300 single index cards. This series was also published in Spain ('Aviones en Combat'), France ('Les Combats du Ciel') and the Netherlands ('Vliegtuigen in Gevecht') in identical format.
