Re: Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet
 

Indeed George, hope you will get your copy as fast as possible.

I see there is a huge demand and interst on that subject, because nothing comparable was published before. But I'm not really in the position to answer all your questions, because I'm not the writer of that booklet. I just have done 2 colour artwork for it, and that's it.

I try to answer all your questions as good as I can, but if not, please show understanding.

To the Me 262 on the front cover. It's only one of serveral Me 262 pictures in that booklet. In the losses list just one Me 262 is listed (I./KG 54).

I have a preview for all of you showing the He 162 profile I have done for that booklet. It's also published on www.rlm.at website. Go here to see and read more: http://www.rlm.at/start_e.htm?cont/profil12_e.htm&1

Nice Greetings from Vienna,

Re: Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet
 

Today I received my copy of the book. It's just what I've expected: pages and pages of detailed loss lists, spiced at the end with a few photos, printed on landscape format.
Despite what the authors' claim, many photos are known (to me). However, some appeare to be unpublished, indeed. Same for the listings, many loss data are taken from published sources, but many appear to be extracted from primary sources. Unfortunately (for me), not a single Hs 129 appears in the lists...
At the end, it was money well spent. As an added bonus, it would have been ideal if the authors would have offered an electronic format of the database - for a nominal extra cost - so the columns could be rearranged/sorted alphabetically/numerically.
