Enjoy!

Frank,

It will be definitely available in this spring (it is not in the printing phase yet, but that time will come pretty soon)

I have it. It is excellent. Five to 15 pages on each ace, depending on available information. Victory lists for each ace. Lots of photos. Even has an entry for an Hungarian ace who joined the Luftwaffe.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Gentlemen,

Don't waste anytime on this deal. Six days to go.

Has to be the bargain of the year.

This book will sell out quickly.

Vol. 2 of Magyar Warriors has an extensive chapter, 170 pages, about the organisation and activity of the Hungarian air force, from the aftermath of WW 1 until the end of WW 2. The chapter also has 20 tables, including those of top aces and aircraft deliveries (Italian and German). The longest table includes the complete aircraft production in Hungary (1890 aircraft in total, not including purely civilian types and gliders). A significant amount.
