Re: Forthcoming book: 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours'
 

Congratulations, Dénes! I'm not a fighter, camouflage and markings fan but I have immense respect for your diligent, no stone left unturned research and your persistence and determination to stay with it until your project and manuscript is finally published. Very few of us have the language skills needed to do your level of research. We are very lucky to have you in the World War II aviation history community.

Re: Forthcoming book: 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours'
 

Your words are really flattering, Larry. I am only an amateur aviation historian, who wants to uncover so-called 'exotic' topics, which are neglected by mainstream publications.
My two-volume book (summing almost 600 pages, containing some 250,000 words and about 700 illustrations) is the fruit of one of such prolonged efforts, lasting over 20 years.
Instead of further words, let me quote from the Foreword (see attachment).

Many thanks for those who are following my publishing activity. Without them, it would all be pointless.

Dénes, just a question regarding your help in my book. Did any photo from Klemm Kl 35B YR-PSH has been found?

Re: Forthcoming book: 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours'
 

Off topic. I need to check, Sergio. Why do you need a photo of exactly that aircraft?

Re: Forthcoming book: 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours'
 

Off topic. Sergio, I checked my photo boxes, but could not find trace of YR-PSH. I didn't find it in register files either (only YR-PSK). YR-PSH was an Aero-45.

Re: Forthcoming book: 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours'
 

Thanks Dénes. There is a flight authorization given for a flight Rio de Janeiro - Montevideo in July 1939 with pilot P. Stanatescu but I believe it was never done. Same for the Bf 108 YR-MDI you sent me a photo to my book. If YR-PSK is the same Klemm version I mentioned not rare to find mistakes on registers.

Re: Forthcoming book: 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours'
 

thank you very Denes, I like very much your books about Romanian and Hungarian Air forces and from Barbarossa to Odessa, do you know when Bulgarian fighters vol 1 and 2 will be released in Europe ?

Re: Forthcoming book: 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours'
 

Many thanks for your kind words, Alain.
Vol. 1 will be available in about 2 weeks, while vol. 2 in early 2019.
I will post here the news when either of them is ready.

Re: Forthcoming book: 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours'
 

Wow... Sorry. You wrote off topic and just now my mind understood... The book covers Bulgarian aviation but I did a question about two Romanian planes... My mistake... Ageing is not easy sometimes.
