Aircraft of the Luftwaffe Fighter Aces Vol I & Vol II by Bernd Barbas
Hi,
These books are published by Schiffer Books. But I find also "Planes of the Luftwaffe Fighter Aces" Vol I & Vol II also by Bern Barbas, publisher Kookaburra. Are these titles one and the same but a different publisher or are these titles completely different. Which ones are the best ? Thks Luc |

Luc:
The original volumes were published by Kookaburra. Schieffer then republished them with small corrections and additions. Get the latter. |

The Kookaburra and Schiffer sets are basically the same, but there are some significant differences:
Kookaburra: - Includes four extra chapters: Vol 1: Fighter Aircraft of the German Luftwaffe; Organization and Victory Awards; The Aircraft Compared- Includes an index of illustrations in each volume, which is handy for reference purposes. - Lower quality paper, with lower-resolution and lighter photo reproduction. - Includes some photos not in the Schiffer set. Schiffer: - Heavier and glossier paper, with clearer and darker photo reproduction. - Includes many photos not in the Kookaburra set. - Some corrections to the Victory List. It's worth having both sets, but if I had to choose just one, I would go with the Schiffer volumes because of their expanded pictorial content and superior photo quality. Hope that helps, Leon Venter |
