The book, Aircraft Profile: Fairey Fulmar Mks I & II (# 254) is part of a series of Profile Publications centered on chronicling the development and use of ground-breaking or interesting aircraft during the 20th century.  "Aircraft Profile: Fairey Fulmar Mks I & II (# 254)" tells the interesting story of the development and use of the Fairey Fulmar single-engine, carrier borne fighter utilized by the British Royal Navy during World War II.  Approximately 600 Fairey Fulmars were built from January 1940 through December 1942.  While the Fulmar was a heavily armed, reliable and ruggedly constructed aircraft with long-range capabilities, it was under powered, which hampered its use especially during the latter stages of World War II.  In order to fill a stopgap need for a night fighter, approximately 100 Fulmars were converted for this new role with only limited success.  The major sections of "Aircraft Profile: Fairey Fulmar Mks I & II (# 254) are as follows: 1) Introduction; 2) Fleet Fighter Requirement; 3) Specification 0.8 / 38; 4) Development; 5) The First Fulmar; 6) Production -- Fulmar Mks I and II; 7) Radio and Radar -- the Fulmar Night-Fighter; 8) Armament and External Stores; 9) Front-line Service; 10) Combat Career; 11) Specification; 12) Particulars and 13) Production.  In addition to an informative narrative, "Aircraft Profile: Fairey Fulmar Mks I & II (# 254)" includes the following features: 1) 48 vintage black and white photographs; 2) 6 color side aircraft profiles and 3) 1 five-view color illustration of Fairey Fulmar II (X9559) in the markings of 809 Squadron, Royal Navy, aboard HMS Victorious in Home Waters, spring 1942.  This book is sure to appeal to both aviation enthusiasts and modelers alike.  This book is 23 pages and is in excellent condition.  The author is David Brown.  Edition published in May 1973.
