Number four in their Airframe Detail is on the Supermarine Swift by Valiant Wings Publishing and is considered the "go-to" book for this aircraft. It covers the aircraft in enough detail that truly no other book is needed. The book is broken out thusly:
- Introduction
- Technical Description
- Camouflage & Markings
- Kit Build: Airfix 1/72 Swift FR Mk.5
There are also three appendices:
- Supermarine Swift Kit, Accessory & Decal List
- Supermarine Swift Squadrons - A list of all the units that operated the type
- Bibliography
All-in-all more than enough for building any Swift model and plenty to satisfy anyone curious about the history of the Swift. Plenty of thanks goes to Valiant Wings Publishing for providing the book for review.
