A new book in my library. (1 Viewer)

Thanks for the info Aaron. I hadn't realised it was the Osprey 'vanguard' series - I'll have a look at it.
Steve, sounds like an interesting volume, and should be good with those authors.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You're welcome sir.

Steve, I loved the book. The revise Part 2 is coming out by the end of the year.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Two recent additions

IMAGES OF WAR: Did you know that they made a "plastic" Spitfire fuselage as a backup for metal shortages? Well now you do. Buy the book to see the pictures.

CONSOLIDATED MESS: Absolutely love this book! All the silly little details that an airplane nerd like myself can geek-out to. Can't wait for the promised Vol 2!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Dang those both look awesome!

 

[GrauGeist]

That "Images of War" looks like it's a good book...does it cover all aircraft of the war or just Allied?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Just British unfortunately...with the aircobra thrown in for good measure.

Well dang, nothing against the British aircraft, but that would be a great format for U.S. German aircraft!

Saw that 'Images of War' on offer at 'The Works', a discount book store and on-line chain in the UK, and was considering getting it. I knew about the 'plastic' Spit, there's photos of it in a couple of my Spit books.
Glenn gave me the details on the B-24 book, which I'll be ordering next week - unless I see a copy at Duxford air show on the weekend !

I agree. I love production photos, but honestly this book left me a little bit flat. Some of the picture have the appearance of being "lifted" from newspapers of the day. Not as crisp as say production pictures in FlyPast of Aeroplane magazine.
