AUTHOR: Ron Mackay's interest in military aviation began during WWII. The local Coastal Command airfield at his birthplace of Wick, in northern Scotland, provided a wealth of British and American designs with which to stimulate his interest; post-war National Service with the RAF sustained that interest.

To date, he has produced 25 books covering the aforementioned Allied and Axis Air Forces that include several co-authored projects; a further number are in the process of completion. 379 colour and b/w photographs A Photographic History of the 2nd Air Division.
