Hello,
I´ve also bought this book. It is very interesting, especially the
chapter about the Fw 190-production of the Norddeutsche Donrierwerke in
Luebeck in the last days of WW2.

..a very good effort for a self-published work ! If anything less is more (some of the pics are a little small) & not everyone will like the soft covers - straight to the top of my pile though ! (well, along with JG 2 Vol II)

Hi FalkeEins,

What is the best way to receive this book in France (euros/P&P) ?

TIA

..ah.. yes.. that's probably the difficult bit. Suggest you talk to the author via the web site link in Jim's post..
