If this is going to be done, it would be very important to respect the copyrights and authorship of people like yourself who have done the work to bring us from where we were when Mr. Green first published to where we are now.

You can use my books [or any other books, for that matter] as source for your project without any special permission, if you properly quote the source. Of course, I will try to assist you personally as well. Just contact me directly, when it's the case.

While talking about the Henschel Hs 129, I would drew your attention to my latest book on this type, published last August by Midland Publ. in the UK, which contains the results of the latest research on this topic. If you [or anyone else] would need a copy of this book - signed, if requested - I still have a couple of them available.

Re: Warplanes of the 3rd Reich

William Green´s Warplanes of the 3rd Reich book has to me the same status as Karl Ries´ Dora Kurfürst und Rote 13 as well as Markierung und Tarnnstriche der Luftwaffe im 2. Weltktrieg. Both gave for historians and modellers a first step when too little information was available. Even considering their age those books still amazes me for the tremendous work.

From what I remember, William Green has passed way few years ago. Maybe I´m confusing with Karl Ries or Heinz Nowarra death...

Re: Warplanes of the 3rd Reich

Strange that no mag gave this info. Sad to think that this pioneer of the aviation history may have vanished without anyone noticing it. Air International should have made an orbituary, after all, this mag was his brain-child, whatever happened between Green and Key Publishing.
But if he still alive, serve him right!
