Re: Forgotten Heroes - Aces of the Royal Hungarian Air Force in WWII (second revised, expanded edition)
Gentlemen,
I have many interesting and historically important running projects, albeit with pretty low intensity (due to the acute lack of time). Sooner or later, there will be some more materials, but finishing such materials is extremely difficult and time consuming (and also very costly). As for this project itself, it is doubled compared to the 200-page-long 2006 edition (402 pages with 350 illustrations, plus the colour profiles). Evidently it contains a lot of new info. The book was fully printed in 4/4 colour (CMYK printing) in glossy paper in hardcover A/4 format. That's why it is so heavy (1,8 kgs). Few photos available there: https://www.facebook.com/B-Stenge-Cs...96007973861711 |

Re: Forgotten Heroes - Aces of the Royal Hungarian Air Force in WWII (second revised, expanded edition)
Csaba,
The book arrived Wednesday. What a magnificent effort. A4 size paper, coated paper stock with very good photo reproduction. Hard cover, no dust jacket but a illustrated cover. 402 pages. Bios of all aces starting on page 64, going to 366, from highest scoring to lowest, with 10 pages for additional "near aces". Bibliography and footnotes. An important addition to my collection. I am really looking forward to the English translation, so I can actually read the book! Many thanks. Enjoy! Frank.

Re: Forgotten Heroes - Aces of the Royal Hungarian Air Force in WWII (second revised, expanded edition)
I have it. It is excellent. Five to 15 pages on each ace, depending on available information. Victory lists for each ace. Lots of photos. Even has an entry for an Hungarian ace who joined the Luftwaffe.
Enjoy! Frank.

Re: Forgotten Heroes - Aces of the Royal Hungarian Air Force in WWII (second revised, expanded edition)
Gentlemen,
Don't waste anytime on this deal. Six days to go. Has to be the bargain of the year. This book will sell out quickly. https://www.naval-military-press.com...ond-world-war/ Col. Last edited by Col Bruggy; 22nd August 2019 at 01:56. |

Re: Forgotten Heroes - Aces of the Royal Hungarian Air Force in WWII (second revised, expanded edition)
Vol. 2 of Magyar Warriors has an extensive chapter, 170 pages, about the organisation and activity of the Hungarian air force, from the aftermath of WW 1 until the end of WW 2. The chapter also has 20 tables, including those of top aces and aircraft deliveries (Italian and German). The longest table includes the complete aircraft production in Hungary (1890 aircraft in total, not including purely civilian types and gliders). A significant amount.
