New book on Boeing XF8B-1
 

Just wanted to let you know that a very excellent book has been published on the XF8B-1 by Schiffer. Authored by Jared A. Zichek, it has 376 pages in large landscape format, hundreds of photos from National Archives (especially interesting detail photos), complete pilot manual in colour, some 70 pages from Service/Maintenance Manual etc. An exemplary work!

That´s a great book-I fully agree.

it seems that nowadays, prototypes and low production number birds get more and better book coverage than the major types :D
just think about the great JU-388/287 books from Aviatic Verlag, or the new TA-154 book from D. Hermann, and not to forget the new Classic volumes on the Natter, the ME-264, the Go-229 or the Do-335.

but who we are to complain, the more great books, the better!!! :D
