»Classic World War II Aircraft Cutaways« by renowned aviation historian Bill Gunston is a celebrated reference book that republishes highly detailed technical cutaway drawings originally created during the war. Published initially in 1995, it showcases the intricate internal mechanics of major Allied and Axis combat aircraft.


Bill Gunston is a Londoner. At the end of World War 2 he was a flying instructor in the RAF, and as such flew many of the aircraft featured in this volume, including several of the Axis types. In 1951, via what is todays London City University, he joined the editorial staff of Flight International, and in April 1955 was appointed Technical Editor. Here, he worked closely with the artistic genius of Max Millar, Arthur Bowbeer and Frank Munger, and gained a privileged view of just how the great technical heart of the magazine ticked. Bill was later promoted to other duties in what had become International Publishing Corporation (IPC), but decided to leave on the last day of 1970. in order to pursue a career as a freelance writer. The rest is history!
