Thanks for posting the book announcement. One small change, though. You have the wrong cover. The correct authorship is "Bill Kirkness DFM AND Matt Poole", not "...WITH Matt Poole". The printed book says "...AND Matt Poole".
For modellers, specifically, the 52 photos include:
>>A colourised (cover) and black & white shot of a Mk VI Liberator taking off
>>A burned-out Wellington in Malta
>>Two photos of pranged Mk II Liberators
>>A nice shot of engine repairs on a Mk II Liberator
>>A shot from the outer port wing of a Mk II Liberator wing, looking towards the fuselage
>>An interior shot of a beam gunner manning his .303-inch guns on a Mk II Liberator
>>One shot showing men in front of the No.2 engine and another showing the forward fuselage, both the same Mk III Liberator
>>A photo from the outside showing the .5-in port beam gun protruding from an open hatch
>>Armourers ‘bombing up’ a Liberator (from the bomb trolley)
>>A pranged Mk III Liberator
>>Close-up nose art shots
>>A taxying Mk III Liberator
>>A crew portrait in front of a Mk VI Liberator
>>A view of engine fitters working on a Mk VI Liberator’s No.2 engine
>>A forward fuselage view of another Mk III Liberator with nose art, and
>>A pranged Mk VI Liberator.
The written descriptions of the different model Liberators could be of use to modellers, as well.
