Looking forward to this one. A really detailed book on Italian fighters is well overdue.

Re: Italian Fighters. Band 1: Mc.200 Saetta - Mc.202 Folgore - Mc.205 Veltro

I wonder what is new information in this book?

650 photos, drawings etc in 224 pages (almost three to the page), doesn't leave much space for a relevant
text.

There already exists an incredible amount of books on all three types....

Cheers
Stig

Please list all those incredible amounts of English books on all three types. Especially books that are more than softback booklets.

Since I already listed mine in my answer to your PM to me Jukka, no dacapo here, sorry, but who mentioned
anything about English books?

As I mentioned in my answer, this is Crecy's second venture into Italian aircraft.
Their first one was the S.79.
Since I got hold of the text (not the book itself), I found out it did not contain one single bit of new items...
for me that is.
Since we are all on different levels when it comes to both interests and data that interests us.

I am not saying the S.79 was a bad book, I am saying it was nothing for me, which is a big difference.
I am not saying this future Macchi book is bad either, even if the Crecy blurb is, which means I am
careful before I spend my money....

Also what do you have against soft cover books? One of my MC.205 books is far better than anything
which has been written before. Again my opinion - but is does have a soft cover....

Perhaps this is something for you?

Mind you, not about aeroplanes, but it has its merits

Cheers
