Been trying to get hold of this book for years, it's become exceedingly rare and only seems to exist in Australia. Costs $100 + via Abe Books or equivalent.

Recently bought the Mig Ammo 'Encyclopedia of Aircraft Modelling Techniques' set, by Diego Quijano - GREAT books!
Set consists of 5 books, with step by step pics throughout:
Part 1 - Cockpits
Part 2 - Interiors and Assembly
Part 3 - Painting
Part 4 - Weathering
Part 5 - Final Steps
Between 25 - 35 Euros a pop (depending on source) but worth their weight in gold!

This is more of an announcement than a recommendation, but a new book on the history of Dark Olive Drab and Neutral Gray camouflage came out yesterday. It's available in the US on Amazon - I'm not sure when it will turn up on international sellers' sites.

Nomonhan Incident kept popping up....
Could either of these two be worth getting, or are there better books out there?

Been looking at these....any good?
Jan, I have all 4 of the forgotten war series, I enjoyed them very much as not a lot of info out there on that area. If you can get them cheap go for it. I have one other book that is a two part series on this campaign. though have not had a chance to read it. I will take a picture of that as well when I get home.
As far as the Aces speak book been along time since I looked at it. If I remember right it had good reviews. I will scan a few pages for you when I get home, Just started work about an hour ago.
As promised Jan here is a scan of the pilots in the books. Yes it only covers 4 pilots. There are no pictures of the planes they flew. Just stories and pictures of the pilots them selves. Looking at the book the back of the book which takes a quarter of the book is just a list of Luftwaffe aces and not all are mentioned and the unit they flew with. Pages 231 to 327.
Second book is the only other one I know about on the Aleutian's other then the 4 you posted which I have and recommend. Lot of stuff I did not know about in that part of the war. I only have part one of that series.
Hope this helps.
