The Vickers VC.1 Viking was a British twin-engine short-range airliner derived from the Vickers Wellington
bomber and built by Vickers-Armstrongs Limited at Brooklands near Weybridge in Surrey. After the Second
World War, the Viking was an important airliner with British airlines, pending the development of turboprop
aircraft like the Viscount. An experimental airframe was fitted with Rolls-Royce Nene turbojets and first flown
in 1948 as the world's first pure jet transport aircraft. Military developments were the Vickers Valetta and
the Vickers Varsity. The Valetta was a military derivative of the Viking developed in transport and
training variants for the Royal Air Force. The Varsity was a versatile twin piston-engined aircraft
developed from the Viking and Valetta but with a tricycle undercarriage and ventral pannier for
bomb-aimer training, among other changes. It was brought into RAF service in 1951 for crew
training as a replacement for the Wellington T10. The most outstanding quality of the Varsity was that
it could provide excellent training for pilots, flight engineers, radio operators, navigators and bomb
aimers simultaneously. The prototype Varsity T Mk I made its maiden flight on 17 July 1949. The RAF
took its first deliveries in October 1951 which went to No.201 Squadron, Advanced Flying School at
Swinderby, Lincolnshire. Production of the Varsity T Mk I for the RAF ceased on 28 February 1954 after a total of 163 had
been built, the type serving the RAF faithfully until being withdrawn from use in 1976. This Warpaint relates the history of all three types,
focussing on the military operators, as per the series title. It is profusely illustrated by over 100 top quality photographs, nearly all in colour from the
author’s extensive photograph archive and supported by the excellent colour profiles and plans by Sam Pearson.

The full story of the first true Multi-Role Combat Aircraft, the OV-10 Bronco, still flying operationally after
nearly six decades of service, is told here for the first time in a bumper 104-page Warpaint. Detailed first-
hand information gathered over many years has enabled the author to bring together the many facets of
this remarkably versatile aircraft including pre-cursors, competitors and prototypes, through Vietnam and
combat service with some eleven US and foreign Air Arms, and its part in the development of modern
precision weapons, to its astonishing array of uses since. These include fighting drug cartels in Columbia,
fires in California, mosquitos in South Carolina, and ISIS in Northern Iraq. Also, finally covered in full and
accurate detail are the German ‘jet’ Broncos. The world’s largest restoration project and current training
of US and NATO JTACS bring the story up to date. De-classified information has made it possible to
detail for the first time all the long-nose D model conversions and all the Broncos that served in Desert
Storm, their preparation, the epic trans-continental deployment of one squadron by air, and the key role
played by the Broncos during the war. The detailed and revealing narrative is copiously illustrated
throughout with fully captioned photographs - many previously unseen- and backed by personal
accounts, Individual aircraft histories, airframe lists, scale plans and specially commissioned art work
with comprehensive colour scheme information.
All these titles are available in printed format via our on demand printing service. Please contact our office for further information.

By Mike Verier
'Triple nuts' the CO of VMO-2's aircraft, on the ramp at MCAS
Camp Pendleton in 1987, freshly painted in the then-new three-
colour camouflage. Like all D models 155499 was converted from
a Vietnam era OV-10A. Subsequently upgraded to 'D+' '499 went
on to serve in Desert Storm and is today preserved at Pima
County Air & Space Museum. (Mike Verier)
