About the Author

This is Chris Thomas' second book for Osprey, the first being the highly successful Aircraft of the Aces 27 – Typhoon and Tempest Aces. He has previously co-authored (with Christopher Shores) Typhoon and Tempest Story (1988) and four volumes of 2nd Tactical Air Force (2004-09). The son of a wartime Typhoon pilot, Chris is the Air-Britain specialist on the aircraft, and he wrote The Typhoon File and Warpaint No 5 – Typhoon. He has also created the profile artwork featured in this volume, bringing to bear his specialist knowledge of the markings and detailed appearance of the subject aircraft. Chris' artwork has been published in Air Enthusiast, Aeroplane Monthly, Flypast and Le Fana de l'Aviation. He also illustrated the 2nd Tactical Air Force series with more than 90 profiles of the various types employed by that force.

Reviews

"Typical of Osprey books, there are a superlative number of period photos of the planes and those who flew them. This is further enhanced by a large selection of color profiles by author that show examples of the Typhoon as the war progressed. This is an outstanding book on the subject and is one that I can easily recommend to you." --Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness (October 2010) "Military holdings considering strategy and equipment will find this a fine survey from an aircraft specialist who provides much research on the history and development of the Typhoon." --The Midwest Book Review
