The publisher (MMP) has finally listed my book today:
http://www.mmpbooks.biz/mmp/books.php?book_id=217

In the meantime, the project has split in two, so now we will have two volumes instead of one. This way, the manuscript and the hundreds of photos we've submitted (way too much for a single volume) do not need to be cut back. Thanks to the Publisher in believing (and investing) in this daring project.

The first volume is estimated to see the light at the printer's in mid-July, while the second one in November.

Here you can see a quick (very quick) overview of the entire book:

Those who would like to lay their hands on the book first are encouraged to order it directly at the publisher.

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

The Publisher informed me that the book can now be purchased on-line (free shipping wordwide!):

They are on Facebook, too:

P.S. I haven't seen it yet, so I cannot comment on the looks yet...

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Has anyone seen the book? If yes, I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks.

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Double thanks to you, Srecko!
Once for the kind review, and once more for the colour profiles you drew for the book.

P.S. One minor note: my name is not Dennis Bernard, but as given on this forum: Dénes Bernád (Alter Hase). :o

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Ooopsss.... sorry :( Very hards days on my side and I make typo error, will correct it right now! And thank you for kind words :)

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

My copy arrived today courtesy of Amazon UK at £19.99 as I ordered it last year. Obviously I have not read it and have only flicked through the pages, pausing at some of the illustrations and profiles and reading snippets here and there. My first thoughts are why doesn't MMP make all their titles like this? Such a high quality publication: the illustrations are magnificently rendered, the photos for the most part superbly clear and large enough to see and the quality of the paper stock is superb. My advice to MMP is scrap the other sizes and make only White Series. The lack of an index is the only minus point I can see, however this is redeemed by a photo of Dénes resplendent with luxuriant beard :D Maybe volume two will have an index for both volumes?

Now I look forward to the read (and Volume 2).

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

The Text is good too, and where I have been able to check it very accurate. But what about an index Dénes? A reference book without an index is next to useless.

Looking forward to Volume 2.

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Thanks for the compliment, Chris. Practically, I wrote the entire text and captions.
I have to disappoint you, there won't be an index. Simply, there is no time and capacity to do it.

However, I'll try to compensate that loss with a list with all air victories claimed by Hungarian fighter pilots. ;)

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Dénes,

Is that list of Hungarian fighter victories going to appear in Volume 2 of Hungarian Fighter Colours, or elsewhere?

Enjoy!

Frank.

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Yes, that's the plan. Let's see if it works (as it's a late edition to the manuscript of vol. 2).

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Excellent! I have ordered both volumes.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Vol. 2 is available as of today:
http://mmpbooks.biz/shop2/product.php?productid=17668
It contains 20 more pages than vol. 1 (incl. a complete air victory claims list by fighter and attack pilots).

Free shipping worldwide (by the Publisher's store, see link above).

I am looking forward to reading your opinions...

Re: Hungarian Fighter Colours
 

Has anyone received it yet? Mine arrived last Friday.

I am looking forward to your opinion and comments.
