Re: New He 219 Book from Wingleader.
So as we are talking about photos and nobody mentioned it... Photos are of awful quality! It's quite an unpleasant surprise for a book at this price.

Re: New He 219 Book from Wingleader.
..I don't suppose the original print/copies in a number of instances were that great either and in a few places in the book they are reproduced too small....no artworks either! Scope for Chandos to do better..

Re: New He 219 Book from Wingleader.
Just bought a copy.Great book.I would recommend it.
The only problem is the small, poor quality pictures. I really enjoyed chapter 5 detailing the combat history. |

Re: New He 219 Book from Wingleader.
Combat history is a great plus. Something I also thoroughly enjoyed is the report of a tester from Erprobungsstelle Rechlin on testing the ejection seat. First-hand accounts are always great. However, they are scarce in this book.

Re: New He 219 Book from Wingleader.
I had a brief look inside when visiting Christian Schmidt earlier this week.
I, for one, will certainly wait for the Chando effort. Will be very interesting so see what Marcel can do, given a reasonable free hand.... Cheers Stig |

Re: New He 219 Book from Wingleader.
There's a bit more about what the Chandos book will include over on the Falke Eins blog in an interview with Dan Sharp. After talking about his own book, "Secret Projects of the Luftwaffe", he mentions what he has contributed to Chandos's He 219 and Bf 109 T projects.

Re: New He 219 Book from Wingleader.
Few questions about He 219 books (My birthday is coming and my wife & kids want to buy me a book, and He 219 an Illustrated History is one of the candidates - other are Dan Sharp's Me 262 book or the new BC RS vol 1...)
Is the Ferguson/Wingleader book "the best" He 219 book at the moment? It doesn't seem to be that "illustrated", according to reviews posted above... Also, what's happening with Chandos He 219 project - is there any chance of something coming out in foreseeable future or is it dead? |

Our book isn't 'dead', it's just on hold while our expert finishes up the operational history and some other stuff - unfortunately this can't be rushed. If you want the best book for technical details and loss lists etc, then I'll leave that advice to the experts. For model making, probably one of the Richard Franks books.
