By the way, "Aeroplano" has been offerd on Spanish Air Force official site, alon with a "Revista Aeronáutica y Astronáutica" magazine. Issues for 2002-2009 are awailable for free here

There were a lot of articles on present Spanish Air Force, it's aircraft and personel. Good illustrations, some historical info. Generous example of self-promotion, I think.

Didn't know we already had that reference on the forum... So many topics!

Anyway, the article is MUST reading for anyone with an interest in Dewoitine.

Here is a series of pictures from the same Aeroplano #25 article (last pic is from #24).

By the way, do you have/know any drawings/pictures of D.730 or D.740 jet-fighter designs (that are mentioned in the Aeroplano No. 25)?
