Westland Wyvern – 4+ Publication: Recommended by Vic, but didn't have to go overseas for it. Found it in California for a good price! Yeah! Will use if I ever build the Trumperter kit.
The Harlem Hellfighters by Max Brooks: Mel Brooks son, wrote World War Z. A graphic novel loosely based on the true story of the 369th Infantry Regiment and the trials and tribulations they had to endure on both sides of the trenches.
Fairey Rotodyne: Needed a book on this hybrid aircraft for Airfix and Revell(?) kits. Flipped through it and it seems quite readable, but would have liked pictures of it fitted out with a passenger cabin.
Vengeance!:Book on the Vultee Vengeance that someone on the forum inspired me to buy. Funny quirk of this book is that towards the end of the book, the final section is bound upside-down and backwards, as if the book was meant to be read from either cover! Weird!
Zoukei-mura CONCEPT NOTE SWS No. 1: Doesn't sound familiar? This cryptically titled book is about the Kyushu J7W1 Shinden. It's part history/part build report (from the company that made the 1/32 kit…are you listening Wayne?)/part model show picture book with Japanese and English text. I was on the fence about purchasing this book until I realized that all the reference material I have is in Japanese! It didn't answer all the questions I had, but gave me more information than I had before.
The Lockheed P-38: If you are a fan of the P-38 then this is a book you. Appeals to me because of the various one-off 38's shown. Did you know that there was more than one version of the up-swept tail built and flight tested? Me neither!
Ship Strike Pacific: Great cheap photo book (on the used book market) with tons of US sea strike pictures!
Various RED STAR Soviet/Russian books: Yefim Gordon… Also they were all half or less off the cover price!
AIR CORPS by J. V. Mizrahi – Buy This book! A Sentry book with TONS of inter-war/pre-war aircraft pictures. Curtiss A-18 interior pics anyone?
IL PIAGGIO P. 108: Picked this up for a couple of bucks at a recent model show. Text in Italian, but many interior pics of the P. 108T. Sweet!
SUPERFORTRESS Squadron/Signal: I have only bought one S/S book that was weak…and this isn't it.
Battleship and Cruiser Aircraft of the United States Navy 1910-1949 by William T. Larkins: I guess I was expecting a book more like his "Surplus Aircraft" book, though I don't why… Anyway, the best book on the subject I would imagine.
Boeing B-29 Superfortress "The Ultimate…" by Wolf: Ultimate if you care about the color of every piece of the Superfort, not so if you were expecting never before seen pictures of the odd-ball experimental versions.
Nest of Eagles: Again a forum member recommended this and I'm glad he did! Not through it all yet, but so far so good
Bombs Away: Basically a coffee table book on the 8th AF (IIRC). Bought it on the discount table a Barnes Nobles. A few pictures that I haven't seen. Would not have died if I passed on it.
