FlyPast  |  March 2014
The March 2014 issue of FlyPast is a special edition focusing on the men and machines of the Cold War, along with all the regular features, news and air-to-air photography. We present a series of articles and images reflecting on the jets that ruled the air during the 1950s and 1960s, and profile an historic Australian-built F-86 Sabre that still flies today. We also include over 20 pages focusing on the ill-fated Fairey Battle, an aircraft flown by heroic RAF crews in the early days of World War Two.
