This new colour glossy magazine from Spain , published by the Quiron Ediciones is dedicated to Spanish history , and as a consequence has plenty of items concerning the Spanish Civil War.

Issue 1: An article on SCW aircraft with several colour plates .The 20mm Cv3/35 - includes a drawing an photo of a 20mm breda AA gun mounted in a box structure on the front of the tankette , and a 2 page article on the vehicles involvement in Spain ,this was a new one to me !!! .A 10 page article on Schneider 155mm guns in Spain . A 2 page article on the I-16.A 10 page article on the destroyers Ceuta & Melilla . An 11 page article on coastal artillery 36 - 39 . A 6 page article on the Spanish tank regt in 1940 , which has lots of pictures of SCW vehicles , in their new neutral role . And a 10 page article on the nationalist Victory parade in 1939 .

Issue 3: Legion Condor in the Asturias Campaign (1st part), the twin AA 37mm Breda guns on the Ciscar vessel , another article on Italian tanks in the SCW (1stpart)

I can't rate this magazine highly enough , but it may be difficult to get outside of Spain .
