Spitfire Mk Vb of François de Labouchère

My dear Bertrand.

I didn’t forget, I only do not want make publicity for this book even it is good & weel done (not very excellent) because, you know perfectly that I worked (at the beginning) in this book and no very little thanks in this book. It is not important. I will survive. But this author didn’t credit my photographs that he used without my written permission.


I do not question here the work (that I respect, and it is a good work, I repeat) of the author but its manners to do. Yes, it is disrespectful towards myself

If there are 2 nice profiles (in this book) of GW-L and GW-Y among others, it is because I was, in these times, in charge to give orders and documentations to the illustrator. It was my own documentations (for these 2 profiles).

Hello Maciej.

I have seen the photograph on AeroJournal n°48, and I repeat I have others photographs of this serie from the Family collection. So Please contact me off board.

By Advance Thank you.

Ps: Bertrand I will contact you off board.
