Edward,


I like the Fighter aces book. Not sure if you've checked out the content,but the format after the introduction,which contains among other things, very brief histories of the Italian fighter squadrons, is pretty uniform with each ace having a few pages of biography and tables showing details for the aircraft in which he achieved his victories and the enemy aircraft he shot down as well as the time & place.As a person interested particularly in serials, I might wish that more serials were known for the Italian aircraft,the aircraft they shot down is slighly better.But at least a starting point is provided.All of the preceding is accompanied by nice large photos of the Italian fighter aircraft for each ace.The book is rounded off by the colour profiles section. So what are you looking for in a book with this title?


Regards,


Clint
