Marking the 70th anniversary of the Dambusters raid, the special May issue of FlyPast comes with extra pages, and includes a detailed history of 617 Squadron, the unit that carried out the famous 'op' in 1943. Renowned unit historian Andrew Thomas presents a comprehensive view on what is arguably the most famous RAF squadron of them all. This eight-page special includes many exclusive or rarely seen archive images.

PHANTOM FOCUS
Our colourful Spotlight section highlights the history of one of the most formidable jet fighters ever built, the rugged and beautiful McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom. With exclusive artwork and comparisons, we look back on several key Phantom operations, including its use by marine and navy crews over South East Asia.

SHUTTLEWORTH COLLECTION
Ben Dunnell meets Shuttleworth Collection 'boss' Sir John Allison, and finds out about plans for the future of this aeronautical British gem.

FLYING FORTRESS ESCAPE
The remarkable story of B-17 airman Melvin H Curry's escape from occupied Europe after being shot down.

SWISS VAMPIRE
We go air-to-air with a beautifully restored former Swiss Air Force DH Vampire.

DAUNTLESS AND HELLDIVER
Two magnificent US warbirds in focus, featuring air-to-air photography and veterans' memories.

CIVILIAN STIRLINGS
We reveal the little known story of how Short Stirlings came to be operated in civilian hands.

Plus a look at Duxford's latest exhibition, a trip to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum which is home to an airworthy Avro Lancaster, some archive images of a Spitfire visiting Kuwait in 1944, and much more!
