Coming soon from Key Publishing and author Roger Staker is Piston, Passengers and Payload, which follows the development of British piston-engine passenger and commercial transport aircraft between the end of the Great War and the early 1950s, when piston engines were superseded by jets and turboprops.
This period saw rapid change at a technological level, in response to an emerging market for transport of all types. It also witnessed the birth, failures and mergers of numerous air transport companies.
Flying was not without risks, Alongside the acknowledged successes that helped to make the world a smaller place, there were tragedies, Lessons learned from these contributed to the safer travel environment that we enjoy today. The pace of commercial aircraft development was given added urgency by World War Two, with many civilian aircraft pressed into military service: not all survived.
Featuring many previously unseen photos, this book is the story of a previously closed chapter in British aviation and offers detailed accounts of 17 manufacturers whose advanced designs paved the way.
The page book is currently available for pre-order with release set for September 30.

Modelsvit has provided an update on the development of their new tool Martin AM-1 Mauler model kit in 1/48 scale.
The Mauler was a bulky, single-seat, carrier-based attack aircraft developed by the Glenn L. Martin Company for the U.S. Navy during World War II, intended to haul very heavy ordnance loads from fleet carriers but entering service only in 1948 due to development delays and technical troubles, and serving in small numbers until the early 1950s before being eclipsed by the more successful Douglas AD Skyraider.
The latest update features test shots of the latest sprue production. Check them out below.

A&A Models has announced the upcoming release of a new tool 1/48 Republic XP-72 model kit in two boxings.
The XP-72 was a prototype fighter-interceptor developed from the P-47 Thunderbolt, built around the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major engine to deliver far higher speed and climb performance than its predecessor. First flown in February 1944, it reached roughly 490 mph in testing, carried heavy machine-gun or cannon armament, but never entered production because jet fighters and the end of World War II overtook the project.
The new release will be offered in four-bladed prop (4816) and contra-rotating propeller (4817). Additional details and build photos have yet to be released. Click below to check out an additional image.
