Re: Die verbotene Luftwaffe 1918-1938. 20 Jahre Österreichische Militärflugzeuge

Just received the book this afternoon

Being non-German speaking and having a rudimentary knowledge only about the language I cannot speak for any faulty spellings etc.

At face value I find the book very good. It contains exactly what I expected and wanted. Having subscribed to the ÖFH magazine and their various publications as well for many years (not all), this book covers what they have failed to write for the past 30-35 years or so.

It is highly detailed with regard to the aircraft used (which is my main interest) and the photos and tables are very interesting. Especially the detailed list of all the known aircraft used between November 1918 and November 1919 when no doubt the Allied Control Commission put their fingers in the pie :-)

Only wish is someone from all other nations in the broken up Empire would do the same!

The book DOES contain a reference source list and my copy also had an errata page enclosed.

If Austrian military aviation 1918-38 is anyone's cup of tea, and you don't have too much already about, this is your book!
Cheers
Stig
