Classic Fighters 2007 - Souvenir Edition [Book]

This is the souvenir pictorial booklet of the fourth biennial Classic Fighters Marborough at Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, New Zealand over Easter 2007 

With 120 pages of glorious colour, half of those being full page photographs of the many aircraft taking part from all periods, this attractive booklet manages to record most of the action and atmosphere there, including re-enactments from both world wars. The WW1 flying pictures alone certainly make this worthwhile: the Sopwith Camel, Bristol F2B Fighter, Nieuport 24, Pfalz D.III and of course those seven Fokker Dr.I triplanes..

The booklet is a labour of love covering everything that displayed, plus the various static displays, and provides a background to those who prepared the event, so it is thoroughly recommended, and an overall good read.
