A few more pages from the same album as above (I hope admin allows the photos to be posted, if not, please edit or delete them, thanks!).

Nice book, I just love the English captions/translations - lunetist = scope gunner ROFL

Do you know if his other books from this series ( except Kursk ) cover other airforces except LW/VVS ?

I had years ago the 1st edition (1928) which was waaaaaaaaaay much better than the new one. 1st edition was of so good quality that it suffer no comparison with the new one, which is practically "bătaie de joc". LE: all this 3 book can be bought at Librăria Institutului de Istorie "George Bariţiu", str. Napoca nr 11, Cluj-Napoca. I bought them today. The one about saxons costs .... 4,25 lei!

They do not care anymore, they are not motivated to work hard or they don't know how to scan and improve the original images... I've seen this many times in the new books. Blocky images, low/high contrasts and what not.

It was a good oportunity for mr Felea, who edited it, to make some easy money: the book had a price of 40 lei!
