Re: Ken Merrick's "Luftwaffe Camouflage & Markings" book

Dear Mr Eger, I am pleased to share comments with you about this long awaited book.

1) Not cheap
2) Average printing (I saw better)
3) most poctures already published
4) no profile
5) a lot of answers...but new questions ! *
6) a huge research work !
* For instance :
a) about the Me 262A landed is Switzerland (white 3) : Mr MERRICK, according to contempory color descriptions, says : 82/83 scheme. But color photos exist, with a brown color... This machine was restaured in Mūnich in 81/82 colors
b) What is the darkest color on a b&w pic : 81 or 83 ?
and so on.
Restauration from a B & W photo is more and more difficult...

Friendly,
Von Alles
