  The Avro Lancaster, such a stalwart of the skies during the Second World War, also enjoyed an interesting and surprisingly colourful post-war career. It is this era that the authors have chosen to focus on by profiling the type across its many variants.Split into three primary sections, this book offers a concise yet informative history of the Lancaster's post-war operational career (from 1945-1965) charting the course of the various alterations and improvements that occurred during this time and including a selection of contemporary photographs with detailed captions. A 16-page section features 32 colour illustrations (in profiles, 2-views and 4-views) specially prepared by Mark Gauntlett. The book's final section provides a list and box top illustrations of the plastic model kits produced of the Lancaster in all scales plus reviews and 'how to' construction notes on building a selection of kits in 1/144, 1/72 and 1/48 scales. As with the other books in the Flight Craft series, whilst published primarily with the scale aircraft modeller in mind, it is hoped that those readers who might perhaps describe themselves as 'occasional' modellers - if indeed they model at all - may also find that this colourful and informative work offers something to provoke their interests too.

  Mammoth Cave National Park -...

  Go deeper into this national treasure with “a sumptuous collection of photographs [that] captures the wonderment and majesty of the cave system” (Louisville Courier-Journal). 
   
  Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave National Park is home to the world's longest cave system, boasting over 350 miles of explored and mapped passageways—and geologists estimate that there could be many more miles of this vast subterranean world that remain unexplored. In addition to the renowned Mammoth Cave, the park also includes over 50,000 acres of hills, streams, and forests with nearly seventy miles of scenic trails. 
   
  The Green River, which plays an integral role in the cave’s ecosystem, winds through this impressive landscape. As an artist-in-residence at the park, nature photographer Raymond Klass was granted access to the cave and the surrounding wilderness. While living at the park, he took thousands of photographs of famous cave formations, such as Frozen Niagara and the Drapery Room, as well as scenery and wildlife not often seen by the general public. Mammoth Cave National Park: Reflections is a record of Klass’s unique visual exploration of the above- and belowground ecosystems within the park. 
   
  With more than 100 dramatic full-color photographs, accompanied by Klass’s commentary and extracts from the journal he kept while living and working in the park, this book captures the sights and surprises of the vast underground world of the cave system—its labyrinths and mineral formations, remnants of human visitors and gypsum miners, streams and rivers hundreds of feet below the surface, and more. 
   
  “The detail in the photographs lets the reader absorb the wonder of Mammoth Cave perhaps more than a simple day trip to the park could ever provide.” —Kentucky Living
