The Digital Detail & Scale Series continues with the newest title, F2H Banshee in Detail & Scale, Part 1: Prototypes Through F2H-2 Variants, covering the development, history, color schemes, combat and operational use, and details of one of the most historically significant Navy jet fighters.
Over the past 35 years, Detail & Scale published six monographs, 69 full sized volumes, and now a total of four digital publication titles in the well-respected Detail & Scale Series. F2H Banshee in Detail & Scale, Part 1 maintains the series focus on specific aircraft details, including cockpit, windscreen & canopy, fuselage, internal armament, wings, pylons & external stores, engine, landing gear, and tail. It also contains chapters on the developmental history of the aircraft, the different early Banshee variants, the Banshee in the Korean War, Banshee color schemes, the units that flew the aircraft, and Detail & Scale’s usual comprehensive modelers section.
