NEW BOOK - Fw 190 D Camouflage & Markings - Pt. 1

[David E. Brown]

Hi John,


Thanks for the update - I was curious about how the project was coming along.

And yes, I know how hard it is to continue these sortt of studies with family, careers, etc. indeed, this past week I was in the Hospital with a G-I infection so lost all those evenings to actually get something done. This is also my first opportunity to catch up on a week's review of websites.

Cheers,

Dave

REMARKABLE! There is not different words. Which work and which result!

I awaited this book much; the result goes well beyond my hopes: a well structured and pleasant presentation, splendid profiles, new photographs, rich and interesting contents, with much of surprised (I think in particular of photo page 46 of WNr. 500570 showing and confirming the interior yellow color of the fuselage access hatch).
The chapters "Camouflage & markings-theory" and "Individual description of production batches" are a treasure for the modeller who I am.

Highly the exit of part II!
Like one says at home: low hat Gentlemen!

Thanks Bernard for your comments

You are forgiven for your english !

I am very pleased that we provide you a better study than you ever hope .

Three major goals drove our layout .

1 to do something easy to understand and to read

2 provide information we have as much precise as possible to explain our thoughts

3 provide as many iconographical support on the same subject as we could have (sometimes we do not have the right to reproduce such our such picture) , for better understanding : a drawing when correct provides much more data than a long text . Several pictures of the same machine , will reinforce our conclusions and help modelers for painting a particuliar Fw 190D .

Thanks one more time

Focke-Wulf Fw 190D Camouflage & Markings – Part I

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190D was one of the most elegant and powerful birds of prey in the European skies at the end of WW II. Similar in conception to “Messerschmitt Bf 109K, camouflage & marking”, this new work provides a thorough insight in the aircraft’s camouflage and marking schemes.

Part I explains the common rules used for camouflaging and marking of the type, and describes in great detail the various colour patterns applied to the different Focke-Wulf built Fw 190D-9 and D-11 production batches.

The book is fully documented with extracts from original documents, black & white, and colour photographs, as well as colour schemes and colour profiles. It is completed with a comprehensive loss list of the entire Focke-Wulf production.

Highly recommended for all students of WW II aerial warfare, Fw 190 fans, and modellers.

Hardback, 208 pages, approx. 240 photographs, numerous colour schemes, and camouflage profiles of 32 aircraft. English text.


One assumes that this book is now in press and will be available within weeks. It is very exciting to note that apparently the original single volume soft-cover book has now evolved into a two volume hard-cover set. No details are available on what Part 2 will include or when its planned publication date will be.

If one includes the undoubtably first-class Dora book in preparation by Eagle Editions, enthusiasts will be very well served (spoiled!) by these new publications which can't come soon enough.

Cheers,

David

This is the absolutely best work on camouflage the Dora I've erver seen.
