Re: Die verbotene Luftwaffe 1918-1938. 20 Jahre Österreichische Militärflugzeuge
It may be of interest for presumptive buyers of this book to know what the "ÖFH Nachrichten" have to say in this matter in its latest number (1/15) - "ÖFH Nachrichten" being the Information Magazine for and by Austrian Flight Historians.
Three persons (with full names) give their view of this new book in the Austrian Flight magazine, and they are not very pleased or amused...
Rupert Reisinger, who put the book together, has obviously copied at least parts of his book, word by word, from other books, biographies and brochures. Also taken about 20 drawings from different ÖFH Publications.
And - there's no mention of all this in the book's source and literature directory - nothing...
Furthermore, on an other level, they report quite a few misspellings, wrong names and other mishaps in the text.
With all the criticism(and there's quite a lot of it!) and to be fair, the editor of the magazine says that it is in fact the first book trying to depict the Austrian Luftwaffe between the wars.
Thought you should know...
