Hello,


Another french serial related request I'm afraid.On delcampe there is a Nieuport serial No.8300 at:


https://www.delcampe.net/de/sammlero...893694091.html


I imagine that its one of the Nieuport 80 series trainers, in fact I'm almost tempted to opt for Nieuport 83 just because of the No.8300, but recognise that this is too much of a coincidence, so I'll avoid making an uninformed guess.

Hi Clint

Indeed this is a trainer version, but a N.81
Reason I know this is because N8300 was among 145 transferred to USAAS

Hi Stig,


Thanks. I wish I could justify the expense of the Casari book, it sounds wonderful.

Oh it is

In my opinion it is a masterpiece, way ahead of anything Aeronaut Books has published so far!

I have something like 1000+ books on American aviation and it easily takes the top position of all of them. I believe you have Peter Grosz book about Austro-Hungarian aircraft?

This is the US equivalent and if someone gave me the awful choice of choosing which one is best, I think I would give the honors to Casari.....

Come on Clint, buy it....you only live once....

Cheers
Stig

Stig,


I'm impressed by your comments on the quality of the book and who knows may be one day, but at the moment money spent on books is going on German and KuK material and I'm just starting on Italy after which France I think.
