Re: Heinkel He 111: An Illustrated History. Design - Development - Variants - Operations - Equipment
Nick, the title "He 111 - Operational History" would be OK to me per se. I just wonder how detailed such a history would be for an aircraft so widely used...
Nick wrote:"...but how many of us would risk thousands of pounds of our own money trying to prove them wrong?" As you said, publishing is business. And what those thousands of pounds are is called the cost of doing business.
I do also think that it is quite incorrect to air that "do it yourself" phrase every now and then. We readers are the demand, and the publishers are the supply.
As for technical books, as I have tried to say, there is something peculiar with books on piston-engined aircraft from post-WW1 to 1945. There is simply no supply, therefore it is impossible to gauge the possible demand. And if that is compared to what is available to sailship, ship, tank and train enthusiasts, it is strange.
