Re: AceS n°8
Well if they sell that's also because they deals with topics popular in France (mainly anything related to French Air Forces and the Luftwaffe), some obscure topics I am sure would not interest a foreign audience.
Are they worth translating and publishing ? I let those who produce them answer (someone may ask Caraktere how much Bf 109 book they sold in both French and English edition). I just remark that a lot of know names (some who are members of this board) of English-written aviation literature appears often in French magazine. Why didn't they publish their articles in English ? I don't think they are forbidden to do so, but I can be wrong. |

Re: AceS n°8
I write for a number of good French magazines. Their interest is varied and not just limited to France & Luftwaffe

Re: AceS n°8
Aéro-Journal is a French magazine and we publish it for French people.
What's wrong with that? |

Re: AceS n°8
At least in Finland Luftwaffe as a popular topic beats all other air forces combined. Or close. It is easy to note when selling books here.
As for the sales of some English language editions translated from other languages, much depends on marketing. As far as I know, e.g. Caraktere's books are not available via many online sellers. Plus I have never even seen the book advertized! Not e.g. on this board. The Aviation Historian was mentioned earlier. Indeed it has some good articles, but thus far I have refrained from subscribing due to two issues: sometimes awful layout (=ragged right coupled with an obsession of cramming in too many graphics) and that there are too many articles on really poor topics like Iranian aerobatics (jets), post-war jets, air stewardesses and similar junk. That the leading English language aviation historical journal wastes space on such junk when e.g. the available (in English) literature on Japanese WW2 aircraft is researchwise sometimes over 40 years old and written by authors not speaking Japanese is a policy I can never understand.

Re: AceS n°8
Well, a few pages wouldn't be a problem. Sometimes over 50 % of TAH is devoted to those interest-killers.
