FlyPast Magazine July 2013 Edição anterior

The July 2013 issue of FlyPast is now available to download. This 122-page edition of the UK’s biggest selling aviation monthly features an incredibly rare, original Focke-Wulf Fw 190 on its cover. This remarkable ex-Luftwaffe fighter is owned and flown by Flying Heritage Collection in the US, and FlyPast writer Rachel Morris tells how it was located in a Russian forest and eventually returned to airworthy standard. John Dibbs air-to-air photography is, as ever, stunning.
