Searching for a SPECIFIC P-51 book - can anyone help?

Hi guys,

I am trying to find a book or a friend (his copy was stolen, believe it or not)...

It was related to Mustangs in service with the Fuerza Aerea Dominicana (FAD). It is a colour book, probably from the early 1990s.

I have looked in amazon and goggle but cannot find it. It had the format of the typical Osprey early series (25x25cm, not the "aircraft of the aces type of booklet). Full colour pictures, quality paper, little wording. I have tried numerous possible titles using P-51, F-51, caribbean, FAD service, etc... and nothing, zip nada.

Anyone help?

TIA

Mike

Might it be this book?
http://www.abebooks.com/products/isbn/9781870601511
The most complete description lists it as soft cover of 47 pages published in 1988.
It doesn't just cover Dominican P-51s though:
Quote:
Warbirds Worldwide Special Edition, Includes: Dominican P-51s, TF-51 Programme, Flying the P-51, Mustang cockpits, Rebuilding a P-51A
Cheers
Mark

HI Mark!

Thanks for the reply...

Sadly, that is not it.

The book I a looking for was only on the FAD Mustangs...

North American F-51 Mustangs in Latin American Air Force Service, J.Dienst and D Hagedorn - Aerofax 1985, Midland Counties Publications 1986

Midland Counties when they were a good publishing company

Do you remember the cover? A lot of planes? One plane? On the ground, or in the air? The background color?

HI Ed!

What my friend recalls seeing on the cover are at least a
least a couple of mustangs with a ramp scenery with a tower in the background. The cover was in colour. He "thought" the book was printed by Motorbooks international in the 90s ???
