Anyone know any good ww2 aircraft books, with pictures descriptions/details?

Hi:
I have a whole bunch of WW2 aircraft books for sale. They are no longer published. My husband and I bought them for documentation to build 1/4 scale RC models but never got around to it. These books have never even been read and are in excellent condition. I am enclosing a list in case you might want to buy any of them because I am just cleaning out the house. Please let me know. You can e-mail
Countryreader@gmail.com if interested. Thank you.
