Scottish Aviation Bulldog: Trainer for the World tells the story of the Bulldog from its inception at Beagle as a military trainer derivative of the Pup for Sweden, its troubled gestation with the demise of Beagle and eventual production by Scottish Aviation, its 28-year service with the Royal Air Force and many other air forces around the world and subsequent use by private owners. Author Tom Wenham gives readers everything they need to know about the design, development, production and usage with histories of each Bulldog built.

Admin, Could I please ask how many copies are being printed of this monograph?
Thinking of the Auster (Vol. 1.) issue with it selling out in a few weeks - I'd like to wait for Auster (Vol. 2.) to come out later this year and order both the Bulldog and Auster (Vol. 2.) to be shipped out to me in Australia in one parcel, if practical.

That is of interest even to others, non-down-unders  , as well. Since the postage (for Air Britain at least) is expensive, I also like to order at least two (preferably three) books at each time to spread the costs. Cheers Stig

The print run is a commercially sensitive issue, but suffice to say that is not enormous for what is a somewhat niche subject. I would not recommend waiting for Auster 2, as that will be late 2019 at best and possibly slip into 2020.

There is no need to worry about pre-ordering - the print run is not that limited. The book will be available to order on our website following the launch.
