Re: Assembly Ships of the Mighty Eighth

Bob Livingstone has pointed out that this was originally published in 2007.
The second edition has 64 more pages so it can be accurately described as 'revised'.

I assume that the cover price for the 2025 edition is reflective of the amount of color used for the photos and profiles.

Not sure how the second 'H' was lost for the title on the new edition. - Assembly Ships of the Mighty Eight_

"This book is both historical and a reference tool. The black and white photographs provide the history of the Assembly ships used in WWII. The color illustrations are a great reference for all aircraft modelers. The Assembly ships of WWII were unsung heroes in assisting the fliers be where they needed to be in warfare."

Edward,


So-called AI is being used by Amazon now. So it gets things wrong but they don't have to pay anyone to input titles anymore. So a win, for them.


Best,
Ed
