Congratulations.

Fw 190 F-9, "E8+MH" and Fw 190 F-8, "E8+EH" of NSGr. 9 at Vicenza, Italy

These are both of great interest to me. I have seen photos of both (and published one of E8+MH) but if your photo of E8+EH is good enough to read the Werk Nummer on the fin, then it's exciting news.

Any photos of aircraft in Hungarian markings?

Nick,
Sure, you cansee what you would like to see.;)
Three photos of "E8+EH are there and one of them is the close-up shot of the vertical fin.

Dénes,
The attachment is the only photo of aircraft with Hungarian (ex. Hungarian?) markings.

..first book copy has arrived in south-east London courtesy of Mr Evans' wallet (pocket book)

Re: New photo book of late-war LW a/c's, "LO+ST"
 

Thank you, Hideki, for the nice photo. It's indeed an Arado Ar 96 in late war style Hungarian markings (when the white area in the cross was overpainted with grey, for visibility reasons).

Hideki
Just received the book and the coverage is excellent. Since the primary focus of this work is single engine fighters, is it possible that you will do another work on multii-engine aircraft?

Re: New photo book of late-war LW a/c's, "LO+ST"
 

This book is a true germ for any late war german fighters fan.
Most of the photos are unpublished. The very few known pictures where published in the second volume of Japo's D9 book.
The late Eric Lager told me that mister Hideki Noro who was the photo collector who send them these photos (that prouves to my eyes how mister Hideki Noro is a gentleman because he choosed to help Eric to make the best book as possible on the D9 than to keep these photos for his book).
The book is very well printed and designed.
My paket took less than ten days to come from japan to France (low cost postage).
The new photo of the brown "4" D9 (500647 with Ta 152 taill) showing for the first time the shape of this "4" and the upper camoufalge of the wings or the new photo of the Ta 152 white "7" (WNr 150007) are worth the cost of the book.
I would like to say thanks to mister Hideki Noro to have shared these pictures.
Please forgive my very basic english.
