It hunted U-boats in the war and ferried passengers about after the Armistice. Not the most elegant of British WWI bombers it's true, but Blackburn's Kangaroo belied its ungainly appearance and proved as rugged as it was reliable. In this new DATAFILE Colin Owers relates the Kangaroo's fascinating history, presenting over 64 rare photos along with colour notes and full tabulation. Marty Digmayer provides nine pages of detailed 1:48 and 1:72 scale drawings, Ronny Bar weighs in with the colour profiles, plus there's contemporary airframe sketches and an evocative front cover painting from Jerry Boucher. Classic!
