MSRP: £10.75 ($21.50) Albatros Publications (http://www.windsockdatafilespecials.co.uk/). This issue is devoted to the FBA Type H flying boat used by most of the Allied services in WWI -- over thirty-six pages and both covers, replete with almost one hundred color and b&w photographs of the original and the sole surviving example in Brussels' Musee Royal de l'Armee et d'Historie Militaire. This is one big article by Paolo Varriale containing a detailed history, service under other flags, an extensive bibliography and tables of specifications, all buttressed by outstanding photographs and color profiles by Ronny Bar. This is another fine example of Windsock Datafiles. Perhaps it will encourage an innovative model company to produce an example of this most interesting aircraft. Eduard? If you enjoy history and like old biplanes, this is for you. Recommended. Thanks to IPMS-USA and Windsock for the review copy.
