Pricey indeed. When I bought that Me 163 book on the first day it was available (30 sept) it cost me 47 euros incl. P&P at Bookdepository.
Now I see it costs 64 euros at BD.
A 36 % price increase within two weeks!

Looks really good Terry. Possibly heresy - but I think the story behind making the film is better than the movie.

Wayne, it's the reason why I'm modifying the wheel wells and small inner wheel well doors color, I also modified the propeller spinner...Very interesting book with some aircraft that I didn'k know (Nishizawa one's in 4th Kok.) and some precisions about the one flown by Okumura.

Any suggestions for a book covering the Battle of Coral Sea in detail?

So are you looking forward to the Eduard Zeroes...?

Unfortunately not... My stock is at his maximum with Hasegawa and Tamiya models => 1xA6M2 M.21 + 2xA6M3 M.22s + 1xA6M3 M.32 + 2xA6M5s Hasegawa and 1xA6M3 M.22 + 1xA6M5 Tamiya (last molds). I think it's hard to sell now with the models to come from Eduard...

A few recent additions. The Brisfit book is absolutely THE BIBLE on the type. Incredible amounts of detail and tons of photos, all on high-quality glossy paper. It weighs a ton but was worth every penny. At the other end of the spectrum, the RAF Technical Notes date from 1918 and are the rigging notes for aircraft listed alphabetically from A to L....and, of course, they include the Brisfit. Fascinating info on how riggers would true-up these First World War types.
I think the others are pretty self-explanatory. The "Six Weeks of Blenheim Summer" is a personal account by a Blenheim pilot in the Battle of France. His Granddaughter helped finish the book. I hadn't seen it before until a spied a copy on a friend's bookshelf. Since I'm mostly interested in the first 2-3 years of WW2, and have had a long-standing fascination with the Fall of France in 1940, it was too good a book to pass up.
The Handley Page Aircraft book is very detailed. I primarily bought it for a comprehensive section about the use of converted Handley Page O/400 bombers as postwar commercial airliners. Alas, it didn't answer the questions I had but it did include some rather lovely photos of the type in South Africa.
