And in December-January another one with and about general Mircea Mocanu, the Commander of the Air Defense in 1975-1990. This two book will be part of a new ,,Romanian Aeronautics History Collection'' with, I hope, 10-15 books every year.

For a book covering the topics you listed, I think picture #1 would make a good cover.

I second Sorin's opinion, if the quality of the photo is good enough for a cover illustration.
