Received today:
These books, unfortunately they are in Italian only, are published by the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Military Aviation)
The first one is in two volumes for a total of over 800 pages and deals on roundels and camouflages from 1943 till today.
The second and third are aprox 450 pages each.
Second is about air war in MTO and third about Italian aces os WW1
All are in very good paper with hard cover.
Value vs cost ratio is very good, just consider that full price for the first one is 50 Euro, discounted prices are reserved for people belonging to the army or similar as well as people who subscribed to organisation like GAVS, like I did some time ago.

These arrived today and the Hiawatha - NOTHING FASTER ON RAILS is one massive book, put the book by Frederick W. Hyde, The Milwaukee Road (which isn't in itself a small book) on top of it, to show the different in size...this by far the biggest book that I own! 
Think that someone here, has a slight Milwaukee Road.....obsession!

The amount of times that I've heard that....eeerrrrmmmm.....where were we again, right, anyway, the size of the 39x28 cm.....coffee table size, the book that is...
A few that came the other day...
Love this two volume series, though i have only flipped through Vol. 2 and noted many aircraft I have never seen before, even though I have several books on soviet and Russian X-Planes. Take this seemingly over powered brute for example...
This book I have wanted for a while now and have finally found it for the right price. A tome indeed. Can't wait to peruse its many pages.

I like the look of both of those. I've been reading about some of the Stirling drops in the book I got recently - some brave guys doing important work, often overlooked.
"Mission Accomplished: The Engaging Memoir of a Czech Fighter Pilot Flying for Britain in World War Two" by Frank Mares
Appalled at the German occupation of his homeland in 1939, Frank Mares determined to assist his country in their battle for freedom in the only way he could – as a fighter pilot. Unable to do so from Czechoslovakia he began his mission, navigating his way through Poland to France, through manned borders, guarded stations and hostile territory, in order to assist the offensive against their common enemy.
Armed with fake identities, evading arrest and faced with uncertainties and frustrations at every turn, his journey was one of courage and fortitude. Narrowly avoiding a five-year enlistment in the foreign legion, Frank eventually made it into the French Air Force and finally, following the withdrawal of France from the war, joined 601 Squadron with the British RAF.
Patriotic and determined, he was involved in numerous dogfights and had many engagements with the enemy, flying Hurricanes, of which he was particularly fond. In all of the battles that he fought in the skies with German Luftwaffe pilots, he was never shot down. In 1942 he was decorated with the DFM and Czech War Cross.
