OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES layout: never change a winning team

[knusel]

Good afternoon,

who was responsible for changing the layout of the OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES series ?
I think that step was unnecessary and wrong because the old layout was beautiful whereas the new layout is ugly.

Why not contact Osprey via their own forum and ask them?

Nick, only paying members can post there.

Good morning,

yes, you have to be Gold, Silver or Bronze Member to post there.
Theaerodrome.com and 12oclockhigh.net are enough forums for me at the moment.
However, one of the Osprey forum guys has started a thread about the layout issue already.

Have a nice Friday,

Michael

Osprey are not independent anymore they were bought out in last year or so by an American company Bloomsbury (?) that might have something to do with it.

Good evening Steve,

interesting.
Have you heard that OSPREY has decided to discontinue the publication of WW1 volumes ?

Have a nice weekend,

Michael

It seems as if the original poster is already a good customer, so there may not be too great a sacrifice involved.

Good on you Nick. Great forum but sick of these ranting trolls. On to more worthwhile discussion - any book projects underway?

Paul, I’ve no problem with people not liking Osprey’s design, that’s valid consuner reaction. It’s the futility of raising it here that irks me when the obvious people to tell are Osprey themselves — I’m pretty sure they have email and, unlike us, they are in a position to do something about the issue.

Book projects? None, unless you count the translation work I’ve done for Theo Boiten and Rod McKenzie’s Nachtjagd War Diaries series. I don’t think the public is ready for my completely unillustrated blockbuster “Total Failure: Luftwaffe Airborne Jamming 1942–44”!

Hey, I will buy it ! I am sure the world will survive if that book replace one of the hundred books produced each year in the world about more or less obscure SS units. At least it will tell something new.
