Re: What do you folks think of the 1970s crop of WW2 Aerial books?

Hi Chris,


A few thoughts. Perhaps they should be broken down into individual aircraft. The Me-109 with its different models, conversions, variants and sub-variants. As I recall, a reference book with all the combined types appeared which was a bit like a birdwatcher's guide. Or a kind of collection with an added bibliography for the reader to go further since allocating space is always an issue for any book. What to put in, what to leave out, etc. Perhaps you could solicit experts for advice since there are some that specialize in their "favorite" plane - fighter, bomber and other.

It also appears to be the case that books were published long ago that contained valuable images that were never reprinted. And I am always looking for the magic words - "contains new and unpublished photos."
