REVIEWS

"...examines and presents a completely documented, comprehensive coverage from the prototypes to the final export and license-built versions. They are all fully described and beautifully illustrated plus he listed all the changes in specification, equipment and performance records....As a modeler, I found lots of cool and interesting paint schemes and different versions of the plane. Itâ€™s all here; the color illustrations, the color walk around photographs and rare b&w archive photographs that all modelers love. If youâ€™re looking for unusual European camouflage or bare metal airframes chances are youâ€™ll find what youâ€™re looking for and more.
