Chums 1928/29 | Chums 1932/33

Colour plates

These two copies of Chums are quite battered. This is the better of the two covers

However, most of the interior art is in remarkably good condition, and I hope you enjoy the following samples

Comically, this page is titled "Fighting aeroplanes of the Royal Air Force". It shows three ancient (in those days) 'heavy' bombers, a passenger aircraft, and several front line fighters - Gamecocks, Woodcocks, Siskins, and Grebes. No doubt the RAF realised it was not a good idea to name their aircraft after game birds - they might as well have called them 'sitting ducks' - because the next generation of fighters had more pugnacious names like Bulldog and Gladiator
