Customer Review: This book allows a new or generally inexperienced modeler to be led to build an impressive model and not just another toy for the shelf. Lots of reference material is circumvented by use of this type of book and is a great start. Highly recommended
Customer Review: Flying in the desert from '41 until '43, the German fighter pilots scored heavily against the SAAF (South African Air Force) and RAF (Royal Air Force). The most successful pilot of them, Hans-Joachim Marseille, was truly a star. Scoring 17 kills in 1 day! Only bettered by Emil Lang with 18 in the... more info
Customer Review: 'Bf-109 aces of the Russian Front' is a truly wonderful book! With 82 pages of wonderful drawings and photos and information. I especially loved it when I saw Erich Hartmann (with 352 kills) and Gerhard Barkhorn (301 kills) in the book. I thought the information on these aces was fantastic! The... more info

Customer Review: Squadron/Signal does not unusually make a two volume set on a war bird, so that tells you something right away - the BF-109 is an important airplane. First designed in 1933, this developed into a feared and respected opponent by all. Fast, maneuverable, small, and with tactics worked out during the... more info
Customer Review: Very interesting book about the rebuilding to airworthiness of a ME 109. Covers the history of the aircraft, the research to obtain the correct parts and where everything came from. Excellant photos and timeline. The book is written in such a way that even non technical readers will enjoy it.
