Many line drawings of various details, 32 colour profiles and schemes and a page of P-47D cockpit interior in colour; interior artwork based on manuals and photos.

The PR hype and almost scandalous circumstances of its birth are covered in detail, while the technical side gets a thorough work-out too. All versions and modifications are covered in multi-page spreads of detailed drawings and colour. As a special eye-opener a section describing the heretofore unknown operational history of the Lend-Lease 'Tandyerbolty' in Soviet service is included. Dual Czech/English text As New

Heinkel He162 Spatz (Volksjager)
Balous, M; Bily, M
ISBN: 808652406X
MBI Prague, Czech Republic 2004
4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Soft Cover New book, 72 pages, 77 B&W photos and 59 colour 'walk-around' style photos, 15 scale drawings, numerous detail line drawings, cockpit interiors, 22 colour camouflage and marking illustrations. This volume brings you the anatomy of this last-ditch, 'ersatz' jet fighter aeroplane inside and outside. Compare this work of love and patience with some 'expert' and expensive publications who repeated some glaring mistakes accumulated in the press over some 20 years. They show fancy colour drawings of German cockpits with US equipment, side consoles looking oh so strange (!), no radios, incorrect instrument panels and several versions of colour schemes for the same aeroplane. We said 'enough' to the repetition of old mistakes and we spent uncounted hours in archives and museums to produce a reliable source publication. We took dimensions of real aeroplane and some parts so that we can now offer drawings close to the real thing. Compare to the previous guesstimate drawings and you will probably be surprised what differences you will find. The book also delves into the service of the He 162s used for tests after the WWII in different countries, showing relevant photos; there are many colour schemes, including personal aircraft of famous pilots of the JG 1. An important part is the 'walk around' showing details to enable superdetailing a model. About 10 pages, printed mostly in colour, contains a collections of details - including cockpit, undercarriage and its wheel wells, details of control surfaces, and also the gun bay with MG 151/20 cannon.

Avia B-35/B135
Bily, M; Bernad, D; Kucera, P
ISBN: 8086524035
MBI Prague, Czech Republic 2003
4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Soft Cover New book, 88 pages, 105 b/w photos, 6 pages of colour profiles and schemes, 4 pages of accurate and detailed multi-view 1:72 scale drawings. A history and development of the most modern Czechoslovak pre-war fighter (finished in 1941). Designed to defend Czechoslovak Republic against Luftwaffe, eventually only Bulgarian pilots used them 'in action' against USAF bombers. Called 'Lasta-Swallow' in Bulgaria, due to its excellent flying characteristics, it was, however, an underpowered aircraft with only two machine guns of small calibre that could not fight the modern US fighters. It ended its days as a training aircraft for the Bulgarian Air Force. Dual Czech/English text. As New
