  Dear friends,

  Summer is always so quiet in our ho-

  bby…I trust September is the me

  that we will see this change! The-

  re are several coming events this

  month. Firstly, we will be aending

  Pilsen Kit immediately tomorrow,

  which is also a good chance to meet

  us and see the very latest that we

  can show you concerning our re-

  lease schedule. Secondly, we are

  going to introduce our quarter scale

  Fw 190A-4 in Pilsen. The tooling is

  nished and producon of the rst

  batch is already underway. We will

  introduce the complete plasc as

  well as the marking opons with the

  paint schemes. The kit will be availa-

  ble for rst me during E-day in late

  September. I do have the new A-4 on

  my desk right now and I´m excited

  about the details and t of the kit,

  and I believe the A-4 could sasfy

  the shape-connoisseur too as we

  spent lot of me in geng the shape

  correct with this release, especially

  on the fuselage secons. There are

  plenty of accessories prepared for

  all the future 1/48th scale Fw 190As,

  and we will show some previews

  tomorrow too. So, Pilsen Kit would

  certainly seem to be an excing

  event, and one to see what Eduard is

  preparing for E-day. E-day itself is co-

  ming, and Saturday September 23rd

  is geng very close indeed. Follow

  our Facebook page and the E-day

  page to get the latest news! I per-

  sonally expect E-day will be a very

  busy day… yes, day, because E-day

  is scheduled for Saturday only this

  year, as Czech modelers don´t seem

  to like shows of two or more days.

  You can nd three interesng ar-

  cles dedicated to the Typhoon

  Mk.Ib in today´s Info. The reason is

  E-day again, and a kit named RAN-

  GER, which is prepared especially

  for this year´s E-day. There is an in-

  teresng story of the Czech Squad-

  ron leader of 611 Squadron RAF, Jiri

  Manak, who is an important person

  in Czech aviaon history. His aircra,

  lost in acon in the early summer

  of 1943, is a frequent point of inte-

  rest for Czech modelers since from

  the mid 80´s, and it was of course

  an interesng subject for us too. Ho-

  wever, to nish the project was ex-

  tremely complicated because there

  were many diering opinions about

  the subversion of the Typhoon own

  by S/Ldr Manak. We do have two

  arcles showing two dierent po-

  ints of view: one Czech, one Brish.

  If you want to know our mind, wait

  unl E-day and buy RANGER. If you

  can´t visit E-day, you do have a chan-

  ce during the Aerparty, which is

  the website event oering the same

  purchase condions as per the show

  itself. If you want the Ranger kit, you

  must hurry as there will only be 1000

  pcs released! There is a third arcle

  on Manak´s Typhoon theme, which

  is wrien by Vaclav Sorel, and origi-

  nally published in the early 80´s. This

  opens the theme for this aircra for

  Czechoslovak modelers. I look for-

  ward to seeing the dierence in app-

  roach from these various author´s,

  wring about the same subject. This

  will be quite excing!

  There is another September Czech

  event connected with our company,

  which is the 20th Anniversary day for

  the ‘Museum of the Air Bale over

  the Ore Mountains on September

  11th, 1944’ held next weekend, on

  Saturday September 9th, 2017. The

  air bale from September 11, 1944,

  very much concerns the Fw 190,

  as the Sturmbocks of JG 4 aacked

  B-17s of the 100th Bomb Group the-

  re, with huge loses on both sides.

  The Eduard company and the Muse-

  um support each other, and I can

  only recommend you to learn more

  about this air bale, the museum,

  and the event next week.

  What about the September re-

  lease? There are some kits rst,

  of course. We do have the other ver-

  sion of the famous SE.5a, which is

  the version powered by the HISPA-

  NO-SUIZA engine. There is no special

  descripon known amongst the va-

  rious SE.5a types, except for the en-

  gine installaon, so this is the reason

  for us naming the kit in such a mann-

  er. The box contains the same plasc

  frames as the previous releases, with

  similar mask and photo-etch parts

  too. What is dierent are the ve

  marking opons, all represenng

  the Hispano-Suiza engine powered

  SE.5a´s. There is also a 1/72nd sca-

  le WWI release in the ProPACK line

  in the September schedule. This is

  of the famous Dreidecker, or ocia-

  lly, Fokker Dr.I. All previous releases

  of this kit have been sold out for

  a long me, so we decided to re-

  surrect what is one of the most su-

  ccessful Eduard releases, and put it

  back in our producon schedule. We

  also decided to include an innova-

  ve array of markings. This new item

  is also to be released as single pac-

  kage, with plasc parts and accesso-

  ries in the box, for one model. Our

  next one is a 1/48th scale Limited

  Edion item named ‘VELVETA / SPIT-

  FIRE FOR ISRAEL’. The kit is based on

  Eduard’s Spiire Mk.IXe kit, with six

  markings schemes for IAF Spiires,

  including the charismac Ezer Weiz-

  man´s black aircra which is also the

  subject of the box-art. The box con-

  tains photo-etch, masks and resin

  parts too. The fourth September kit

  release is the Weekend edion of

  the P-39K/N, again in 1/48th scale.

  The plasc is now well-known, and

  the two marking opons chosen,

  belong to the some of the most co-

  lorful Airacobra schemes. We hope

  this one will be as successful as our

  previously released Eduard Airacob-

  ras. Also, please note item 82111,

  the Bf 109G-6 late series kit, which

  was rst released as Bf 109G-6, re-

  turns to sale in September. The kit is

  almost idencal to the rst edion,

  and no major changes were made.

  What else? Well, accessories, of

  course! There are plenty of items

  designed for the 1/48th scale P-51D

  Mustang, which is to be released by

  Airx this September. If I’m count-

  ing correctly, there are eight Brassin

  sets dedicated to this new Mustang

  kit, including wheels, propeller, fuel

  tanks, bazookas, and exhaust stacks.

  Yet more, mostly larger sets, such as

  the cockpit interior, will follow du-

  ring the autumn months. There are

  also mask sets and four photo-etch

  releases, two of them standard

  items for both the classic interior

  and exterior, and two Zooms sets,

  plus a Steelbelts release too. So, as

  you can see, we really like the Mus-

  tang, and it is good to know that as

  we work hard on our own project,

  that we will ensure that these sets

  which are designed for the Airx kit,

  will be incorporated into the new

  design of accessories which we are

  developing for the Eduard Mustang!

  With regards to the other sets,

  please note the photo-etch wing

  bomb bay set for the Airx 1/48th

  Walrus Mk.I, completes the Walrus

  sets released in August. There are

  also PE and mask sets for the Su-

  -17M4, from Hobby Boss, and what

  is also interesng is the addional

  detail set for our Bf 109G-4. For our

  1/72nd scale PE set range, please

  note the Su-34 set for the Trumpe-

  ter kit, and a new set for the older

  P1Y Ginga/Frances from Hasegawa.

  This could be a test for our market,

  in seeing what the response will be

  for new sets designed for older, but

  sll popular kits, where our original

  designs are already more or less ob-

  solete. In 1/72nd scale, you will also

  nd a small set of ejector seat han-

  dles for Marn-Baker seats, which

  is another of our popular, universal

  sets issued at the request of mode-

  lers. A similar item is the 1/35th sca-

  le set 36362, German WW2 clamps

  for German WW2 tanks. 1/32nd sca-

  le PE sets are issued for Trumpeter´s

  MiG-29, this September, and for the

  PE releases for ships, you will nd

  the last two sets dedicated to HMS

  Hood in 1/200, also from Trumpe-

  ter. Do not forget to look at the four

  new BIG Ed sets too, and nally,

  please check out the steel scribing

  templates, with a variety of dierent

  squares of various sizes.

  Ladies and gentleman, that´s it

  from me for today. If you do have

  some quesons, you will have

  a chance to ask me in Pilsen or in Pra-

  gue, or, if you don´t plan to aend,

  don´t hesitate to write to me! Keep

  on modeling!

  They brought me to the former study of some village school. The place

  had a desk, some chairs and a window with no curtains. Behind the desk sat

  a man with an essenal Adolf-style moustache wearing a leather jacket and

  staring into some papers. He gave me a smile.

  “So, you claim being an Englishman, right?“ he said in a perfect Czech,

  which surely did not t to this remote corner of Dutch coast. Aer all, the

  man with such moustache did not t there either.

  “Well, well, this gentleman is an Englishman, look at that,“ he connued

  taking me as an object of ridicule. “Come on, man, spill the beans! We know

  who you are, you are Czech!“

  When one is told such words with a loud band into the desk, and above

  all, with the man being right, there is nothing more to add. Nevertheless,

  I stuck to my story for a good reason. They warned us of Czech shot-down

  pilots not being handled by Germans with kid gloves.

  “Sorry, sir, I do not understand,“ I kept repeang several mes in English

  while the man started to run out of paence.

  “Stop this silly comedy!“ he snapped. “We don’t really care for bloody

  Czech guys. You’ll end up the same way your naon did. Just you wait ll we

  win the war.“ He went silent for a while and started to smile. “Collaborate

  and I’ll give you a chance. You can even get back to the air, on our side,

  though, o course!“ he added and his smile broadened.

  To tell the truth, my face did not produce a very intelligent look at that po-

  int. Why would I be of any use to the Nazi, I reckoned. The man understood

  my silence in his own way and connued.

  “Well, for a start, a couple of details on the plane we shot you down with,

  would do. Tell us about the squadrons that y those planes, and their air-

  elds, too.“

  I get it, the Germans have no idea about the Typhoons; they are a mystery

  to them. Well, no wonder. The Typhoons swi fast near to the ground at six

  hundred kph, four machine guns cause a bit of damage, too, not speaking

  of the bombs and ground aack missiles. What’s he thinking? Most likely,

  he is strange in the head. If only he had seen the Czechoslovaks ght. Their

  “sweeps“ range among the best and earn them the hard tasks to perform

  during the RAF operaons. He must be insane, does he really think it is that

  easy - throwing me bait and expecng me to betray my fellows?

  I gave the German a compassionate look. “Sir, I do not understand you,

  An Englishman

  The Story of a Fighter Pilot: Jiří Maňák

  Václav Šorel

  I need an interpreter.“

  “But I understand you very well“ he spuered, and connued speaking

  English. “You’re a lthy pig and your evasions would not save you!“

  „I am a Brish Ocer. My name is George Manak, that’s all I am obliged to

  tell you in accord with the Geneva Convenon. I wish to be treated decently!

  Do, please, realize that you are speaking to Her Majesty’s soldier!“

  That topped it all; the German could not face this any longer. Speaking

  Czech again: “You, Her Majesty‘ s soldier?“ “You are a traitor and you will

  be lined up against the wall and shot!“ His eyes projected so much hatred,

  that his anger almost made him suocate. “Take him away!“ he snapped at

  the closed door with the door briskly swung open and a rst class private

  standing there.

  “Bie?“

  “Take him away,“ he snapped again and pointed at the door.

  All the way to the prison cell I was contemplang my dark future. All of our

  shot-down men went through this recruitment procedure, but, judging by

  the angry German, none of them betrayed. Well, there was no bed of roses

  awaing me, I thought to myself.

  The private opened some door and pointed at the hard pallet that should

  have been my temporary bed. The door locked and I nally stayed on my

  own. It had not been unl then that I started to shiver aer the night spent

  at sea. I took o the soaking wet fur and sought for a place to dry it. There

  was no stove; above all, the re would not have been lit at this me of the

  year, anyway. Hopefully it’ll dry all by itself. I sat on a pallet, stared at the wall

  opposite and the “lm”, telling the story of my last ight, started to unfold.

  28 August 1943, a day no dierent from other operaon days of 198rd

  Squadron. In the morning we were shoong at the train on French border,

  and in the aernoon we aacked the classicaon yard of St. Omer train

  staon. As it came to the evening, the weather started to go worse, it all in-

  dicated a “free evening for us all“. We were planning our evening out when,

  suddenly, the soldier on duty called me to the commander of the base.

  “George, I’d like you to take ve Typhoons to perform a patrol ight abo-

  ve Holland. You will escort the 184th Wing Hurricanes with the Poles from

  303rd Squadron; the Hurricanes will drop bombs onto the western oodga-

  tes of the water canals. Do expect the Messerschmis and Focke-Wulfs from

  Knokke. If you hurry, you may well surprise the Krauts sll grounded!“

  The command was clear, my pilots, though, were considerably red aer

  the two previous sweeps on that day. I tried to protest. “Sir, the weather is

  geng worse!“

  “That’s ne,“ he answered. The Germans will not count on the aack, so

  you have a high chance to catch them with their pants down!“

  I picked three Englishmen and one Aussie to my patrol and gave them

  a command. “Boys, we’ll y near to the surface of the sea for the Huns will

  not be able to catch us. Mind you, no radio talk! Once we reach the coast,

  we’ll climb to three thousand and at 19:00 we shall reach Knokke. At that

  me, the Hurricanes will be able to aack the canals and the Polish Spiires

  will take the aireld. We will patrol behind the Poles for the Fritz escapees.

  As soon as we are done, we’ll check out some trains.

  The only answer to my command was the sound of the chairs moving away

  from the table. We were an elite squadron operang on our own; there was

  a complete understanding between us with no unnecessary debates. We le

  to get our gear ready; the technicians were preparing the planes. Addional

  tanks to be discarded while sll above the sea shall enable us longer range

  with plenty of juice for return. The guns shall give us an immense repower;

  the bombs and missiles were not needed at this me.

  We were ready for a take o at 18:30. Last test of the engine, technician’s

  thumb up and o we went.

  Typhoons swily ew across the English coast and immediately got down

  ying very near to the surface of stormy seawaters. The engines of our inter-

  ceptors worked like the most reliable clockwork. We were approaching the

  Dutch coast and almost gave a command to drop the addional tanks when

  we got the message on cancellaon of the whole operaon. The Hurricanes

  could not perform an aack due to the bad weather condions. Neverthele-

  ss, I gave a command to connue and we started to climb, “come on, there

  must be some train down there”, I thought!

  The ight over the coast went surprisingly smoothly, some random ene-

  my re went silent shortly aer we headed more inland. Who would have

  thought of us going “on a trip” in such a bad weather, aer all.

  Approximately twenty kilometres inland my engine was geng overhea-

  ted and I spoed a slight stream of smoke underneath my aircra. I imme-

  diately turned the engine revoluons down and started to look for the cause

  of failure. If it had not been for that smoke, the rest of the things seemed

  to have been ne. The Typhoon engine connued to work like perfectly de-

  signed clockwork, only the pointer of the thermometer kept rising. I might

  have caught some stray bullet, I thought. I noed my fellow airmen on my

  troubles and gave a command to turn back to the base.

  The engine was geng worse, though. I reduced the revoluons to the

  minimum and exchanged the altude for speed. I just need to get as far as

  possible; I need to get out, above the open sea. The temperature of the gly-

  col had long overcome the threshold; the engine was just about to explode.

  I was descending. About ten kilometres away from the coast, the surface of

  the sea had suddenly been deadly close; the ps of the waves were almost

  touching the boom parts of the Typhoon.

  I looked at other planes that loyally followed me. If it comes to the worst,

  I will just land on the surface of the sea. The boys will call the base and they

  will come and get me out, I thought.

  Then, the engine stopped working completely and things happened rea-

  lly fast. The cabin cover ew away and underneath the front visor I spoed

  a wave the size of a house.

  Hit!

  The safety straps cut deep into my body. I covered my face not to get hit

  by the gun sight that had, all of sudden, appeared dead close. The wave went

  over the aircra and I started to go to a watery grave. The Typhoon went

  down to the boom like a stone. I hit the buckle of the straps and pulled my-

  self out of the cockpit. The plane was disappearing in the depths of the sea

  and I was going the opposite way at the same speed. Just a few more strokes

  and I was able to take breath.

  The vest blew up all by itself; the only thing I had to do was to blow up the

  life ra. The sea was really stormy and it took a while ll I managed to get

  onto the ra. On top of all that, it started to rain. I was assessing my situaon.

  Strong wind was blowing me towards the Dutch coast; I needed to get away

  as far into the sea as possible, away from the coast. The ying boat seapla-

  ne of the RAF search and rescue cannot help me out right at the barrels of

  German guns.

  My ght at sea lasted ll three in the morning. I suddenly felt a hit of the

  land and got onto the shore. All clear, I am in Holland, that’s it!

  I jumped onto the shore and pulled the ra out. It had sll been raining

  heavily and it was pitch black dark.

  I tried to calm down and think what

  to do next. I might be able to esca-

  pe the Germans while its dark. The

  Dutch love the Germans in a same

  way like other occupied naons

  and they might be able to help me

  get back to England. I had no idea

  then, that I got to the Island of Wal-

  cheren where German arllery had

  their base and Holland itself was sll

  a narrow strip of the sea away from

  there.

  I tried to nd a good hideaway for

  my life ra. I could not nd any in that

  dark, though. I le the ra there then

  and stumbled away from the sea. The

  rst human voice I heard made me

  freeze, literally. ”Halt, halt!“ It had all

  been clear then. As I got to know la-

  ter, there was no way out of the island, anyway. I was hopeless then!

  They brought me to the commander of the base whose mood suddenly

  changed to beer. He even tried to be polite and spoke of an end of war co-

  ming soon and of my prompt return home. He considered me an Englishman

  Next day in the morning I was taken to the mainland and got interrogated

  by that “nice” civilian. I had been sing in my prison cell for ve days; my

  only company was the private who kept bringing me the food.

  On day six, the private appeared again, this me with no breakfast. He

  mumbled his ”bie“ and took me for another row of interrogaon. I was

  mentally prepared for a tough verbal ght. To my surprise, there was a Lu-

  wae ocer sing behind the desk. He interrupted the private’s report and

  dismissed him. Then he got up and greeted me. I could not believe it, the

  greeng was a proper military one, not the Nazi one.

  ”Hauptmann Volf, my colleague,“ he introduced himself and pointed to-

  wards an empty chair that had not been there the last me I visited the room.

  ”George Manak.“

  ”I know. I am sending you to the POW camp for Brish ocers. I hope you

  will get home soon.“ Seeing my astonishment, he connued. ”Herr Müller

  had been called o to Berlin to sort out an urgent maer.”

  He got up, went around the table and stared at me with a red look. ”You

  are lucky, my dear colleague. We got a command to focus our aenon to

  the newly caught POWs. Allegedly you are geng ready for an invasion and

  we desperately want to get some details.“

  I also stood up and thanked him. Well, there might as well be polite Ger-

  mans out there, I said to myself. Hauptmann, as if he knew what I was thin-

  king, gave me a sad smile.

  ”I had also been shot down above the Channel waters. I was lucky, though.

  My fellow men came to get me. One never knows,“ he added and looked at

  his le hand. It had only been then that I noced his leather glove.

  ”Ok, good luck, my dear colleague … And, when you get home, greet the

  Prague from me.”

  A Footnote

  While preparing the collecon of The Aircras of the Czechoslovak Pilots for pub-

  lishing, I had the honour to meet Mr. Jiří Maňák in person. Colonel Maňák showed me

  the ight log with a list of all of his missions. The log included the combat ights with

  a Typhoon bearing the unit marking TP N. I also got to know that the plane concerned,

  had really been the Typhoon ”Car Dor“. Unfortunately, Mr. Maňák did not have the

  aircra serial number recorded, yet he had told me about the dramac landing into

  the sea and his story worth being retold by some of the greatest writers of literature,

  because the further development of the story is no more incredible than its previous

  development.

  When Mr. Maňák was forbidden to y, in the ies of last century, he was sent to

  a state farm in Hluboká nad Vltavou. And it was right there where, standing above the

  manure, he met a man with the same desny. He also was sent to work on that farm,

  but for dierent reasons, for being a Sudeten German that served in Wehrmacht. They

  started to talk and found out that the former German soldier served at the an-aircra

  baalion and very likely he belonged to the military presence that shot S/Ldr Maňák

  down. Incredible, right.

  The storyteller was showing mixed signs of joy and sadness. He was happy for Jiří

  Maňák to have survived the landing into the sea, which only happened to the lucky

  few. On the other hand, he was sad because of Jiří Maňák being treated in humiliang

  way by the communists. A soldier ghng for his country and being one of the rst

  Czechoslovak jet pilots did not deserve such treatment.

  Typhoon JP613...?!

  In the spring of this year, whilst we were preparing the Typhoon Mk.Ib „Car Door“ kit that was nally released under the name „Tiy“, we

  also wanted to include JP613, in which S/Ldr Jiří Maňák was shot down. Due to ambiguity concerning the shape of the back of the cabin

  overlap, Typhoon JP613 was removed from the choices, and we decided to dedicate a special kit to it. Due to this decision, we gained me

  for further research of this part of the history of this specic Typhoon Mk.Ib, and also to produce a special box with an alternave cabin

  overlap that Hasegawa does not oer in its moldings.

  As photos of the aircra in queson are not known, the appearance of Maňák‘s Typhoon has become an interesng topic for discussion

  in both professional and laic circles.

  In the June issue of Modeller Extra Nr.27, an arcle by Karel Tůma / Jan Máče was published. The originators of the known photographs,

  along with subsequent informaon, infer that Maňak´s JP613 had the antenna mast and canopy of an older version. Mr. Karel Tůma provi-

  ded a shortened version of this arcle to be printed in this issue of Info Eduard.

  At the same me, we asked Mr. Chris Thomas, a Brish specialist on Typhoons and Tempests, to comment. He, on the basis of long-term

  research and collected documents, claims that JP613 didnt have the antenna mast and was built with an alternave cabin overlap. He also

  summed up his knowledge of Typhoons in an arcle wrien specically for this edion of Info Eduard.

  We publish the two arcles in parallel so that you can judge the relevance of both expert opinions.

  With our reconstrucon of Maňák´s JP613, we were nally inclined to follow the point of view of Chris Thomas. However, if you prefer the

  second theory, the kit contains all the necessary components to complete the model with the antenna mast.

  We would like to thank both Karel Tůma and his colleagues, and Chris Thomas for their willingness to share their reecons and knowledge

  with Info‘s readers.

  The Appearance of Manak‘s Typhoon Mk.Ib JP613, or Looking for

  a Needle in a Haystack

  The introducon to this machine that inuenced many modellers of not just

  my generaon, came about thanks to a well wrien arcle by Vaclav Sorel in the

  Czechoslovak magazine ABC, accompanied by a beauful Jaroslav Velc artwork.

  It comes as no wonder that as an avid modeller I wanted a model of this aircra

  in my collecon. This I managed in fairly short order thanks to an exchange with

  a fellow modeller from the then Soviet Union, and I became the proud owner

  of a 1/72nd scale Typhoon Mk.Ib from Frog. Thanks to the aforemenoned ar-

  cle, the choice of scheme was an easy one, despite doubts regarding the colour

  of the fuselage codes, which I preferred to render in Sky. Proper references at that

  me were lacking, and even though the quality of the plasc was also lacking,

  this kit was for a long me the only game in town if one wanted it in their collec-

  on. Aer 1989, the possibility of acquiring relevant references improved signi-

  cantly, and even though my main centre of interest became the Spiire through

  contacts that included veterans, my interest in the Typhoon never waned and

  I accumulated a good amount of reference material as a result of trips to Great

  Britain. I had plans to replace the rather dated model in my display case, but this

  was easier said than done due to other acvies. But the upgrade soon became

  clear once Eduard announced their intenon to release a Limited Edion Typho-

  on Mk.Ib Car Door kit featuring plasc from Hasegawa. My assumpon was that

  Manak‘s JP613 TP-N would be one of the decal opons in the kit. Then I read the

  editorial by Vladimir Sulc that Manak‘s Typhoon would, in fact, not be a part of

  the rst boxing of the kit, because according to some sources, it was equipped

  with a dierent rear canopy secon minus the antenna mast, something that

  Eduard would have to manufacture new. I had some nagging doubts regarding

  this hypothesis, because I had come to closely connect Manak‘s aircra with

  the version that had the mast protruding up through that rear canopy secon.

  Photographs of JP613 TP-N are so far unknown. So I set out on the road of closer

  study of this queson through accumulated references, the internet, and colle-

  agues tackling the same queson. Armed with a certain understanding of the

  problems faced by the RAF during the Second World War period, I could set out

  a criteria as to how my research would proceed, and what informaon would

  be considered relevant. This would not only consist of wrien descripons from

  specialised publicaons, but rst and foremost from the study of photographs

  of aircra from the same producon block, or those immediately preceding or

  following it, or those that were dated in the proximity of the downing of Manak‘s

  aircra. Here, I will share my ndings.

  To begin with, JP613 was built by Gloster Aircra Company as part of the

  fourth producon block under Order Ac/943/(C) encompassing the produc-

  on of 600 aircra, specically inside of a run of 39 planes serialed JP576-JP614.

  The nal ight of the aircra, during which the CO of No.198 Squadron, S/Ldr.

  Jiri Manak, was shot down and fell into enemy hands, occurred on August 28,

  1943. Photographic documentaon of the aircra is a much more dicult en-

  deavour. There is a long list of available photographs of the JP series of Typho-

  on, specically JP648 JE-J of No.195 Squadron, JP649 ZY-Z of No.247 Squadron,

  JP671 XR-R of No.174 Squadron, JP682, JP736, JP752, JP789 SA-C from No.486

  Squadron, JP802 MR-M No.245 Squadron, JP846 ZH-C from No.143 Wing,

  JP882, JP853 SA-K of No.486 Squadron, JP906 ZH-L of No.266 Squadron, JP919

  of No.193 Squadron and JP961 from No.1 Squadron. None of these aircra

  were equipped with the antenna mast which aests to the replacement of the

  TR1133 radio with the TR1143 type, which used an aerial located on the spine

  of the fuselage (with another change coming in the form of an IFF blade ante-

  nna beneath the rear fuselage instead of wires placed between the tail surfaces

  and the fuselage). However, none of these aircra hail from the 39 aircra sub-

  -block of which JP613 was a part. Furthermore, none of them were delivered

  prior to September, 1943. The closest was photographically documented JP752

  in September, 1943 at Langley during tesng of a four blade propeller in combi-

  naon with larger tail surfaces developed for use on the Tempest. To add to the

  confusion, there is a photo of JP682 that is somemes erroneously idened

  as JP600 dated August 8, 1943 which would place it in the same producon

  block as JP613. This came about as the result of the warme censor plying his

  cra over the aircra‘s serial number. Fortunately, IWM has the photo correctly

  dated as January 7, 1944 and has even idened the pilot as F/O Cobbe. The

  only veriable photo I have come across of a machine that comes from the

  same block as JP613 came to light during my rst search in the rst volume of

  ‚2nd Taccal Force‘ published by Classic Book. It is of JP590 EL-C of 181 Squad-

  ron. The aircra in the photo lacks the antenna mast that passes through the

  rear canopy secon. However, the photograph is dated October 25, 1943 and

  shows the aachment points for unguided rockets below the wings. I need

  to take a bit of a detour here and discuss my ndings from specic literatu-

  re. During the producon of the car door version of the Typhoon, there were

  naturally implemented dierent modicaons that came about either as the

  result of unit experience with the aircra, or as a maer of technical evoluon.

  This is why there was the addion of the sener plates around the rear fuse-

  lage ahead of the tail surfaces. On one part of the producon run, the upper

  opening part of the canopy received a teardrop shaped fairing housing a rear

  view mirror. This was abandoned later in the producon run because vibraons

  emanang from the engine relegated any rear view vision in it virtually useless.

  Part of the producon run also saw the addion of exhaust covers, but these

  were oen removed at unit level to ease maintenance. But of far more relevan-

  ce to this discussion are the following points:

  - from October, 1943, older machines began to be retroed with the

  TR1143 radio replacing the TR1133, using the aerial on the spine of the fuse-

  lage and the IFF blade antenna below the fuselage instead of the wire aerials

  strung between the tail surfaces and the fuselage.

  - Aircra produced from mid-September, 1943, were produced incorpora-

  ng these changes.

  - Furthermore, from September,

  1943, Typhoons began to use 45

  gallon drop tanks and the rst use

  of unguided rockets operaonally

  mounted under the wings came about

  with No.181 Squadron in October,

  1943.

  Keeping this in mind, we can go back

  to the photographs. The menoned

  photograph of JP590 of No.181 Squad-

  ron loses much of its relevance with

  respect to JP613 because the date of

  the photograph (October 1943) points

  to it having had received the modica-

  ons (such as the mounng points for

  rockets under the wings and the rear

  cockpit secon was likely replaced with

  the installaon of the new radio), and

  it also suggests that aircra from the

  same producon block as JP613 that

  survived in service unl October 1943

  were in all probability further modi-

  ed. So, my search needed to connue.

  Of course, there are photographs of JP

  series aircra up to September, 1943,

  the shoong down of Manak‘s JP613,

  but in most cases, these are of aircra

  of an earlier producon block. Speci-

  cally, these include JP440 BR-R of 184 Squadron, JP380 XM-Y of 182 Squadron,

  JP447 FM-C of 247 Squadron, JP488 BR-R 184 Squadron, JP380 XM-Y 182 Squad-

  ron, JP447 FM-C from 247 Squadron, JP488 SA-L of 486 Squadron, JP494 FM-D

  from 247 Squadron, JP496 E-D, JP504 OV-Z from 197 Squadron, JP510 FM-A of

  257 Squadron, JP513 EL-L of 181 Squadron, JP532 SA-T of 486 Squadron, JP535

  XP-H of No.174 Squadron, JP546 and JP548 from No.174 Squadron. Except for

  two of these, (JP510 aer rebuild to bubble canopy in March, 1944 and JP548,

  in a photo from Roydon dated January, 1944) all have the antenna mast but at

  the same me they do not show aircra from the JP576-JP614 producon block,

  despite aircra JP532, JP535, JP546 and JP548 undeniably hail from immediately

  prior to the one that gave us JP613. Fortunately, luck would smile at me during

  my digging deeper into the maer via the publicaon ‚Typhoon Wings of the

  2nd TAF, 1943-1945‘ from Osprey in their Combat Aircra line Number 86. Page

  47 of that piece has a photograph of JP577 HH-T from No.174 Squadron aer

  a forced landing on August 16, 1943, when it was brought down by ak over

  Amiens-Glisy during an escort mission covering Bostons, with the pilot able to

  evade capture. This aircra came from the same producon block as JP613, and

  was specically the second producon piece of the block. It is clear from this

  photograph of the damaged aircra that it had the antenna mast passing throu-

  gh the rear part of the canopy and so was equipped with a TR1133 radio set

  and also had the IFF wires leading from the tail planes to the fuselage. It is also

  clear from the photograph that the covers over the exhausts were not there.

  Unfortunately, the top of the upper part of the canopy is not visible, which was,

  along with the starboard door, jesoned prior to bellying in and so we cannot

  tell if the teardrop fairing housing the rear view mirror was present or not. Some

  of the aircra in the preceding producon block were so equipped; some were

  not. With respect to what was indicated above, that JP590 and aircra from

  subsequent producon blocks had a straight, unfaired top canopy, I am inclined

  to conclude that JP613 also lacked the fairing that housed the rear view mirror.

  The photograph of JP577 taken immediately aer its being shot down by the

  Germans on August 16, 1943, is being considered as the most relevant to the

  research into the appearance of JP613 TP-N for two reasons. It comes from the

  same producon block of 39 aircra as Manak‘s Typhoon, all the more relevant

  considering that it was delivered to its unit in approximately the same me

  frame, and it was also lost at about the same me, a mere twelve days prior

  to the Manak‘s fateful ight. The photo of JP577 has even appeared on the

  internet under various sengs, allowing some details to be more clearly seen.

  The conclusions that can be drawn are many. Manak‘s aircra JP613 TP-N at

  the me of being shot down was equipped with the TR1133 radio and so had

  the antenna mast through the rear canopy transparency, and would‘ve been

  carrying the IFF wires. The reinforcing plates around the rear fuselage ahead

  of the tail would also have been present. The top of the canopy would likely

  have been without the rear view mirror fairing and the exhausts would not

  be covered. The cannon would have been faired. The fuselage codes would

  have been in Sky (indicated by, among other things, a photo of JP666, own by

  Manak‘s replacement as No.198 Squadron CO, S/Ldr Mike Bryan, which also

  carried the code TP-N acquired in Spetember, 1944). The camouage scheme

  adheres to the RAF standard for the type and me, Dark Green and Ocean

  Grey on the upper and side surfaces with Medium Sea Grey on the lower ones.

  The spinner, as well as the 457mm fuselage band would be in Sky. The inboard

  leading edges of the wings were in yellow. Lower surfaces were painted with

  idencaon marks consisng of 306mm wide black bands and 610mm white

  ones. Weather or not this aircra carried the Squadron CO banner marking

  will probably never be known, although at this me it was a fairly common

  pracce. The aircra may have carried drop tanks (Jiri Manak spoke of their use

  including on the day he was shot down on August 28, 1943) but most certainly

  would not have been able to carry the unguided rockets under the wings. On

  the appearance of Manak‘s JP613, with all of this in mind, I am quite clear to

  my own sasfacon. But who knows? Maybe, somewhere down the road, so-

  meone will get the idea to raise the wreck of the machine laying at the boom

  of the sea near the island of Walcheren and we‘ll nd out that everything was

  actually very, very dierent....

  KAREL TŮMA and JAN MÁČE

  CHRIS THOMAS

  A recent arcle in the Czech modelling press has presented Sqn Ldr Jiri

  Manak’s Hawker Typhoon as having a ‘car-door’ cockpit with the original

  substanal radio mast protruding through the rear secon of the glazing.

  My own researches indicate that while it was indeed a ‘car-door’ Typhoon,

  the 198 Squadron aircra he was ying when he ditched in the North Sea

  on 28 August 1943, TP-N JP613, was in fact one of the earliest examples to

  be ed with a ‘whip aerial’ mounted on the rear fuselage.

  This aspect of Typhoon history is dicult to research as, among the re-

  cords relevant to individual airframes, none detailing the airframe status

  (i.e. modicaon state) seem to have survived. However, over the last 40

  years I have idened as many Typhoons in photographs as possible and

  recorded details of their dates/locaons etc. when possible.

  In the JP/JR ranges (they were all one contract for 600 aircra) it is possi-

  ble to idenfy 29 with car door/masts and 57 with card door/whips. All the

  examples with the ‘mast’ are between JP361 and JP579 and all those with

  ‘whips’ are between JP589 and JR371. So I would deduce that a change on

  the producon line took place some me between JP579 and JP589. Had

  the whip aerial been retroed to any of the 1300 earlier Typhoons I am

  sure some photos would be evident, but they are not (excepng a few

  manufacturer’s development aircra).

  So in my view Manak’s JP613 was one of the earliest producon Typho-

  ons in the ‘whip’ range. The Form 78 aircra movement card records JP613

  as delivered to 198 Sqn on 25 August 1943 and ‘Missing’ on 28 August.

  The ocial squadron diary (Operaons Record Book) records Manak ying

  TP-N three mes between those dates, his log book only two ights in ‘N’

  (the rst ORB ight is recorded as ‘H’ in the log book rather than ‘N’, which

  may be an error). So why had he changed from TP-O JP516, his usual air-

  cra in the preceding four weeks? Perhaps because JP613 had something

  new to oer – a beer rear view? (Incidentally TP-O JP516 went down on

  the same sore as Manak – own by a new ight commander, who also

  became a PoW).

  Why no earlier aircra were modied becomes evident when other

  lile-known changes in Typhoon policy in mid-1943 are examined. Throu-

  gh the spring of 1943 Fighter Command had struggled to keep its increa-

  eduard

  10

  sing Typhoon force (which was mostly engaged in ying intensive ‘An-

  -Rhubarb’ patrols to counter the low-level Luwae ghter-bomber aacks

  along the south coast of England) fully equipped with serviceable aircra.

  The Typhoon’s engine, the powerful Napier Sabre, was experiencing a high

  level of failures and engine changes were carried out every 25 hours of y-

  ing me. This led to a severe shortage of serviceable engines and new en-

  gines were taken from aircra fresh out of the factory (which sll required

  lengthy preparaon before transfer to the squadrons) and used to keep the

  urgently required operaonal aircra ying.

  However, in May 1943 the AOC Fighter Command, Sir Traord Leigh-

  -Mallory, prompted

  a change to a more

  sensible policy which

  saw the delivery of the

  latest Typhoons with

  newly modied and

  much more reliable

  Sabre engines. Produc-

  on was running at 24

  per week, sucient to

  equip ve squadrons

  per month, so by Sep-

  tember the whole Ty-

  phoon force had been

  re-equipped. Many of

  the redundant older

  airframes were broken

  down for spares but the

  beer examples were

  fed into a modicaon

  program that would

  t them with modied

  engines, bomb/RP/

  long-range tank ngs,

  sliding (bubble) cano-

  pies and other impro-

  vements. The rst air-

  cra from this program

  began arriving with the

  squadrons in Septem-

  ber 1943.

  As the necessary changes in the producon line to introduce the bubble

  canopy would take several months to implement, an interim soluon to the

  restricted vision from the original car-door canopy was devised. This invol-

  ved the replacement of the mast with a rear fuselage mounted whip aerial

  and removal of other equipment behind the pilot’s head armour, notably

  the upward signaling light. Also introduced at this me (apparently simulta-

  neously on the producon line) was the ng of an exhaust fairing which

  covered the exhaust stubs.

  So why no earlier aircra were modied with the just the new aerial is

  now clear – they were simply not required – they were of no use unless

  they had the full range of modicaons. If they had an engine with the la-

  test modicaon they remained in service unl their turn came for canopy

  and RP and other necessary modicaons.

  Now to respond to some of the evidence provided in the magazine ar-

  cle. I do not have any details of radio ts to Typhoons in the period;

  however, in the light of the foregoing I believe they are irrelevant. Fur-

  thermore, although the VHF transmier/receiver TR1143 was ed to Ty-

  phoons during mid-1943, I have not found any evidence that relates this

  directly to the ng of a whip aerial. In fact, the equipment that TR1143

  was replacing, TR1133A, is noted in the Typhoon Air Publicaon AP.1804A

  (the ocial Typhoon manual) as being able to be connected to a mast or

  a whip aerial. This strongly suggests that in some cases whip aerials were

  ed without the installaon of TR1143.

  The photograph of Typhoon EL-C JP590, one of the rst with the whip

  aerial, came from the private album of the 181 Squadron commander,

  eduard

  Frank Jensen. He was unable to provide a precise date but the shot must

  have been taken between 29 August 1943 (when JP590 was delivered to

  181 Squadron) and 25 October 1943 (lost in acon). It was certainly not

  taken on the laer date as it was rocket-equipped on that date and lost du-

  ring the rst ever Typhoon rocket aack. It has bomb carriers in the photo

  and the squadron had been begun ng with RP on 15 September 1943,

  and started pracsing with RP one week later. Their last bombing sore be-

  fore the rst RP aack was on 23 September. So a date for the photo in the

  rst two or three weeks of September seems likely.

  Further proof that whip aerials were introduced on producon aircra in

  August 1943 can be seen in the following two photos. The Typhoon in Photo

  2 is clearly an ocial ‘presentaon aircra’ and there were very few such

  Typhoons. They were photographed at the factory before delivery and the

  name was recorded on the Form 78 aircra movement card. The only one

  that matches the photo is

  ‘FIJI No IX

  MORRIS HEDSTROM FIJI 2’

  which is known to be JP606 from it‘s record card. In the background are

  the hills commonly seen in photos taken at Hucclecote, the Gloster factory

  (where all but 15 of the 3,315 producon Typhoons were built).

  The well-known colour photo of JP682 was taken by renowned photogra-

  pher Charles E Brown. His archive of negaves and slides was acquired by

  the RAF Museum, in the 1980s, and included his record cards that show

  the dates and places where his photos were shot. There were a number

  of black and white photos taken on the same occasion as the colour shot

  featuring JP682; the locaon was Hucclecote and the date was 24 August

  1943. The movement record card for JP682 shows that it was delivered to

  the RAF at 20 Maintenance Unit, Aston Down, the next day, conrming

  again that Typhoons were delivered from the producon line in August

  1943 with the interim canopy modicaon already applied.

  Josef Carl Peter Jacobs was born on May 15th, 1884 in Kreuzkapelle in Rhine-

  land and from his school days he had been fascinated with ying, which he be-

  gan to learn to do even before the war. Immediately after the outbreak of the

  Great War, he entered the ranks of the German air force and on completion of

  his training, he was assigned to the reconnaissance unit FA 11. In April 1916 he

  transferred to Fokkerstaffel - West, specically Jasta 22, and subsequently took

  command of the entire Jasta 7 from August 2nd, 1917. He remained with this

  unit until the armistice and brought down a total of forty-eight enemy aircraft

  and balloons. After the war, he was involved with Kommando Sachsenberg in its

  ght against the Bolsheviks in Russia in the Baltic Sea region, and he also taught

  future Turkish military pilots. After the rise of Hitler in Germany, he refused to

  join the ranks of the NSDAP and he emigrated to the Netherlands. After the end

  of the Second World War, he returned to Bavaria, where he lived until his death

  on June 29th, 1978 in Munich.

  He had his two personal aircraft which he used while serving with Jasta

  7 painted all black. Aircraft 450/17 was adorned with a rendering

  of the devil spitting re. This aircraft would later be tted with

  an engine and propeller from a Sopwith Camel.

  Product Page

  This aircraft belonged to a group of three that managed to y to Israel under Operation

  Velveta I in September 1948. It served in the Cheyl Ha’Avir with the 101st Tajeset and

  later with the 105th. It appeared as it is shown here after repairs in 1953 and carries the

  nal form of Israeli Spitre camouage (consisting of upper surfaces in dark grey and

  brown with light grey lowers). The aircraft carries full unit markings, including the unit em-

  blem on the engine cowl, a yellow spinner and a black and yellow rudder. Spitre 2003

  was heavily damaged during landing on December 25th, 1953 by a 107th Tajeset pilot

  and was written off in March of the following year.

  Lt. William McDonough gained two conrmed and one probable Ki-43 Oscar kill ying this aircraft over Wau on February 6th, 1943. He would

  get another three to his credit at the beginning of 1944 after the unit had re-equipped with the P-47. Lt. McDonough died during a non-combat

  ight when his P-47 suffered an engine failure on April 22nd, 1944. This occurred after the completion of his combat tour and while awaiting return

  to the United States. Lt. McDonough‘s aircraft carried the standard Airacobra camouage scheme consisting of Olive Drab upper and side surfaces

  with Neutral Grey undersides. Aircraft of the 40th FS had their spinners and top of the vertical tail painted red, but in the case of this aircraft, it is

  likely that the tail tip remained Olive Drab. The aircraft had its main undercarriage covers removed.

  Bf 109G-4, own by Lt. Av. P. Protopopescu, Escadrila 57, Grupul 7 Vânătoare,

  Kirovograd (Kropyvnytskyi / Ukraine now), Soviet Union, June 1943

  Cat. No. 82117

  Product Page

  Alongside the German armed forces, combat against the Soviet Union was also carried out by her Axis allies, Finland, Italy,

  Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Spain. Romanian ground units operated alongside the Germans on the southern front supported

  by their own air units. In March 1943, the Romanian unit Grupul 7 began to accept the Messerschmitt Bf 109G, but was subse-

  quently moved to combat areas in the Ukraine. The aircraft own by Lt. Av. Petre Protopopescu carried a camouage scheme

  composed of German RLM 74/75/76. The German national insignia was oversprayed with the same colours, and the markings

  were replaced by those of Romania, the St. Michael Cross, and the rudder carried the Romanian national colours. Both sides of the

  front of the aircraft carried the inscription ‚Don Pedro‘, the pilot‘s nickname.
