A new book in my library.

Just received a Christmas present from my friend Max, delayed in the mail.
First in a trilogy, and at first glance, looks to be a very interesting read.

Been looking at that one myself Dogsbody

How do the two volumes compare to the Cuny and Danel book?

Well the photographes are second to none and the 1/72 scale drawings/plans are more extensive, the only thing that holds it back for me at least is my inability to read French. Even with Google translate, some things I can't figure out. One picture shows a damaged (post war?) LeO with the explanation that a "Hovering Bomb" was the reason.

Damn Hovering Bombs

 

[Airframes]

Yeah, they're as bad as Groundhogs .......................

 

[fubar57]

According to the French Wiki, this is a hovering bomb...

​

Not sure how French Wiki stands up though

And from the web

"Hovering Bomb"

No hovering in this one. In fact it falls nearly 6 miles in 43 seconds.
Christmas present from my son, the premise is it counts down the history from 116 days.
One reviewer comments how he includes "everyday Americans" in the narrative - such as Ruth Sisson.
I wasn't sure why in the beginning, but it all comes together in the end.
Great read.

Not quite. Not quite.

 

[Airframes]

You're right Aaron - they don't have those troublesome nutsacks to cause problems .................

I know this thread is about new books in our shelves, but given the knowledge you have I ask for a book about the Martin Maryland and Baltimore, development and combat use.

So far I haven´t find too much, only one Ali d´Italia about the use in the ICAF and one by Christopher Shores wrote in the 70´s.

Does anybody knows of any reference for the issue?

I understand if this post is moved to another thread. Perhaps it could even become a thread by itself asking for books about a subject.

Can anybody tell me about this book? Good? Bad? Thanks in advance. Was looking maybe to buy in future.

Arrived. Disappointed. But it was cheap and not as "ragged" as ebay described the condition.
You can do better Jim.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Thank you sir!

I spent a hour searching and only found the one book you mentioned. Not much on this aircraft.

It has a lot of profile and color schemes. The one thing I have learned is that the Machhi C.205 that is restored was converted from a 202 Folgore.
