Updated 27 January - Decoding the "E" wing
Tonight I present another one of these articles which started out as a photo, then became photo with a caption, then got expanded to a short writeup with two photos. Then the writeup prompted some reference checks. IN the process, other findings were made which were worth adding to the text... and so the story went on until, after a few days, the initial picture became a fully-fledged feature.
- My new article in Variants & Technology is entitled Sorting Out the "E" - American Armament for the Spitfire Mk. IX/XVI. It elaborates on the use of Browning heavy machine gun as armament for the Spitfire, and the confusing designation mess that followed. By Martin Waligorski.
- New in the Scale Modelling section is a new 1/32 model from Finnish modeller Yrjo Knuuttila, who presents his PCM Spitfire Mk. IXC.
