Picked this up from Squadron. A little miffed that the corner was dented, but not enough to actually DO anything about it. Actually I was really surprised the 25 came out when it did. It seemed like only yesterday that 24 was published. Boy how time flies.
Picked up this one at a bit of a discount. The dust cover is a bit mangled and the pages have become unstuck from the spine, but it is readable and nothing has fallen out so I'm good. Liked volume one a little better.
Good advise. But that stuff scares me, the way it expands. Watch out!

Those two flying wing books are awesome! Great buys. Let me know how the hustler book is will you amigo?

It one of the new in action and pretty good, great shots but I have the old Aerograph B-58 by Jay Miller. It's the best I've ever seen on the Hustler.
Yea you do have to be careful, I try and use a short straw to around the center of the book so there is room so it can expand a bit.

Donivanp, the three FW190 books I have also, but the vol. I have run 1938--1943, then 1943-1944, and then 1944-1945. I would be interested to know how yours are broken down. Just curious.

I just got Volume two today. it is 1943-1944. They look like they are the same as yours. Vol one is 38-43 and vol three is 44-45
There are different ones out there?
Listen-up brothers, this one is tricky. First off this book is awesome! Especially if you love the Do 26, Bv 138 and the catapult ships that serviced them and other seaplanes. But it you intend to actually buy a copy for yourself here is a little advise to possibly save you a nice chunk of change.
Firat a little backgroud. The last aviation tome that this publisher put out was about the magnificent Me 321/323 Giant and it was issued in two distinct versions, one aimed at German speakers and one (at a higher price) for the English speaking market. There were actual differences made by the publisher in each book.
However, inspite of all the prepublication adverts seem to indicate that this was AGAIN going to be two distinct printings, THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE THE CASE! From what I have been able to glee for various sources there is only one issue of this book!
The only added "bonus" you get if you buy the imported "English" version here in the states is 8 pages of English translations for the German picture captions. This is not even provided by the publisher, but by the supplier!
So, in closing, if you want this book I would recommend you buy the significantly lower priced issue from Europe (even with shipping it's cheaper) and hope a good friend will share his translations with you. Wink!
