Pretty happy with this latest addition. Not a book, but a magazine really. I don't buy this magazine regulary 'cause for a 50 page magazine little under 20 euro is a pretty darn steep price to my mind...but I had to have this issue since it has an article and some rarely seen photo's on Helmut Lents Bf-110G-4. This naturally has to be turned into a 1/48 build....[surfs to webshop and orders another Eduard G-4]
Indeed, in terms of content this series is quite extraordinary. I can't begin to think about the costly and time consuming research that must go into putting this series together

I also have just as many about the Civil War too!! Woo-hoo!!!!!
I just picked up at the airshow The Mighty Eighth Units, Men and Machines (A history of the US 8th Airforce) by Roger A Freeman. Little beat up but pages contain some great info.
That's one heck of a haul there Chris - instant library!
Good collection David.
Nice one Paul, anything by the late Mr. Freeman is worth having, all his work is excellent. Got three of his 'Mighty 8th' series, and some of his other books too.
