[Dénes Bernád]

The very first aviation related "serious" book I managed to purchase was William Green's The Warplanes of the Third Reich. I had to order it from abroad, from Hungary, in 1991, which was a very "brave" (and costly) act back then, right after Communism had collapsed. When I received it, large format, almost 700 pages, I was amazed how much information can be found about German aircraft, including some obscure ones I never heard of. To me - at that point - it was the "bible". It was only years later, more precisely in 1995, when I dove in deeper into the topic of the Heinkel He 112 fighter (I published my very first English language book about) that I realised that many (most? of the) information in the book is false, or "unproven", let's say. Nevertheless, it's still on my bookshelf, and I do flick through it from time to time.
