This latest issue of Windsock International is packed full of interesting material. The best is the continuation of the Wartime Color section, this time with two period color photos of a Farman F.40. These photos are easily worth the price of a year's subscription, and the folks at Albatros plan on having more show up in future issues. In this issue the editors also include a brief overview of the process used, which at this time in France was the autochrome process, a fascinating process utilizing dyed potato starch.

Other content in this issue include a beautifully restored BAT FK.23 Bantam, Harry Woodman's report on the Lutskoi Taube, a detailed analysis of Farman F.40 colors with scale drawings of the type, the usual kit reviews, some very nice model builds, and some interesting letters to the editor. All in all this is shaping up to be a great year for Windsock International, so if you haven't subscribed, now is a perfect time.
