Ever dreamed of publishing in-print or on-line and creating aircraft profile art for others? Here is your chance to "kick start that plan. 

With the following restraints the assets of “Classic Warbirds” are for sale. 

The name "Classic Warbirds" is included. The name "Ventura Publications" is not. 

The contents of CW.10 are copyright Wojtek Matusiak of Poland. I have mailed a CD of CW.10 to Wojtek and he may re-use his work in future. 

The assets for sale are...

1/. Scanned photo archive.
Originally on 50+ CDs. Now on a large hard drive and would be passed over in that format.

2/. Copies of all work in progress.

I will retain the right to use photos in Ventura Decal instructions but not books.

3/. Paper archive.

The paper archive comprises various self published works of men I interviewed and amateur Squadron Histories, copies of log-book pages. File boxes of stuff relating to proposed books over the years.

4/. Recorded voice interviews with WW2 veterans.
The voice recordings are 57 digital files. Most files are 60 or 90 minutes long and were originally on cassette tape. One caveat. If a family member of someone I interviewed wants a copy I’ll pass it to them.

5/. Stock of CW books.
I have about 300 CW No.1 and 300 CW No.3 plus about 100 spread over No. 8, 9, 12 and 13.

6/. Aircraft plans and photoshop aircraft 'Base paintings”.

Plans are draw in Adobe Freehand may be opened in Adobe Illustrator.
Photoshop files are in "layers" of all the aircraft types drawn for Classic Warbirds, decal instructions and third party clients. Any new individual profile starts from one of the photoshop base files.

I will retain the right to use these in Ventura decal sheet instructions but not books.

7/.Other
Various copies of such things as a Seafire Mk 15 maintenance manual, pages from the PR Spitfire manual.

Below is a link to the books currently in the Classic Warbirds catalogue.
