Re: New Luftwaffe Books: 2014-05-01
Yes indeed
Has anyone bought or seen the Me 321/323 book by Trojca? Since I have two books on the subject already I am curious if this book gives any new info, and if so what that is.... Cheers Stig |

Re: New Luftwaffe Books: 2014-05-01
Hi Stig,
I'm glad you asked. My copy hasn't arrived yet, so when I searched for more information about the book's contents, I found that it's actually available in two different versions:
The Model Hobby version is described as a dual language book, but appears to have the same number of pages as the VDM version (not sure how that works.) The former is also quite a bit more expensive than the latter. From the descriptions of its contents, this promises to be the most complete reference yet published on these aircraft. We'll see when it arrives. In the meantime, here's a list of other useful Gigant resources:

Re: New Luftwaffe Books: 2014-05-01
Thanks Leon
Yes, I have the two obvious books, by Dabrowski (the big one...) and Roba but also some of the more general books you mention. Which one did you buy, the German or bi-lingual edition? Anyway I am interested if you are able to evaluate the text in the copy you bought. I am not saying I am not interested in photos of the types, but due to its size (they must have been the Luftwaffe's biggest massproduced aircraft), photos are usually quite indifferent since no one really grasped how to photograph such a big "bird". Mark Thanks for the pointer, but it did not give me any new details really. BTW any connection to Eric Blair? Cheers Stig |

You're welcome Stig. No direct connection but he did start me on the path to studying the SCW. After looking at the pages, I think I'll follow your lead and wait for Leon's review as the sample pages didn't give a flavor of the text. Cheers and thanks in advance to Leon for his review. Mark |

OK Mark
Well, Leon, seems it is up to you to decide what Trojca has done (or not...) Cheers Stig |
