Re: New Stuka book

Well, take a look at Dean´s America´s Hundred Thousand. Excepting armor specs it has basically the info I miss from Pegg.

Or, Regnat´s Do 335 book and Leverenz&Herrman´s FW 190A book. Plenty of data Pegg didn´t have.

You mentioned that Pegg had 10 pages on the SG 113. Well, as is so typical in Luftwaffe books, experimental or other weird stuff is trampled to death, but the things that were the backbone are skipped over. So Pegg´s coverage of e.g. the MK 101 and MG 151 was dirt poor.

If a small Czech booklet has more detailed tech details than a big, expensive book on the same subject, things are fishy indeed. Note: e.g. the Fokker Triplane book from the same publisher has much better technical coverage of its subject for a lot lower page count than Pegg´s book. So, I blame Pegg, not the publisher.
