Very cool gents, and you're welcome fellas.

Austin, I'm fascinated by the Eastland so that looks like a great book. Just as an fyi since you like ships this one just came out (I've bought it but have yet to read it):

 

[Micdrow]

Nice one David!!!

 

[Vassili Zaitzev]

Thanks VB, does look interesting. I'll put it on the list.

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stuff fellas...

I don't think the postman was too impressed.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very nice! How accurate is the one on Rudder Markings?

 

[clinton78]

I would say that it is extremely accurate as it's all photo based. Many close-up photos of fighter, nightfighter, bombers, and even some AA gun victory tallies.

You could probably find a lot of the photos dotted around in lots of other books but it's nice to have them all in one source. Here's a few pics:

Good haul. Is Merrick's book on Luftwaffe markings still current? I'd be interested in that one.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Thanks!

Well it's showing it's age and without spending much time going over the finer aspects I would presume that his newer works cover the bases so to speak. It's a nice book though with lots of photos and diagrams. At least now I'll know I haven't missed anything.

Thanks mate, I might have a look at that one.

I have it as a .pdf if you would like to check it out before purchase?

The rudder markings book is very good in terms of accuracy there are a couple of miscaptioned shots, and even some of the unknown ones in the back section can now be identified.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Excellent, thanks for the input.

 

[GrauGeist]

Out of curiousity, does that tail marking volumn cover only fighters, or does it cover types like the Bf110 also?

 

[clinton78]

Fighters, Bombers, Zerstorers, Nightfighters, Maritime, basically a variety of rudder markings in use by the Luftwaffe.

 

[GrauGeist]

Excellent, I'll have to look into getting a copy then, thanks!
