Re: Dutchies in de Fleet Air Arm

Dutch Profile published a 12+3 page companion booklet that might interest some of you as well:

Dutch Profile No. 6
Dutchies in de FAA
History, Camouflage and Markings
Nico Geldhof & Luuk Boerman*

The Dutch Profile booklets are dual language publication, in both Dutch and English.

Well, it's a mixed bag and it just leaves me disappointed. Both the content in general and the small number of pages leaves me wondering if there really was enough material to publish this booklet in its current form. If you don't have the original Dutchies book you might find it interesting, but I have my doubts.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the work being done by Dutch Profile. The previous booklets in the series seemed to be well balanced and contained a lot of interesting information. I hope this is not the start of a new trend.

Also released was a Profile No. 7 on post war Avengers in Dutch service.

The publisher has further announced Dutch Profile No.8, about the Brewster Buffalo in NEI service. Really looking forward to that one!
