Author Topic: Tony's Second Book on Aircraft Guns? (Read 388 times)

Hey guys, what ever happened to Tony's second book on aircraft guns?

It got listed on Amazon, I pre-ordered it, and then the publisher went out of business and I haven't seen any availability in the US since. That must have been 6 months or more ago, and no word recently.

Did anyone get a copy? Or know where I can get one?

Hi Vermillion,

It has been available for months, from the new publisher, Crowood (there's a link to their site from mine, via Emmanuel's page on the Flying Guns series). For some reason and despite my best efforts, Amazon.com don't seem to think it exists - although Amazon.co.uk sell it and so do other US distributors.

This first volume is 'Flying Guns: World War 2' and covers 1933-45. The next one is 'Flying Guns: WW1' and goes from 1914 to 1932 - it's due out before Christmas, so make sure your stocking is big enough

. 'Flying Guns: the Modern Era' covers 1946 to 2000+. It is complete and with the publishers - it should be out in the Spring of 2004.

Thanks Tony !

Do you know of any US Distributors that are carrying the books?

Or does the UK site ship to the US?

It is up on Amazon.ca again. I will try to order it again Tony.
Last time it died on the vine.

I've had Amazon UK stuff delivered to the US, no problem.
Also check out http://www.abebooks.com if you ever have trouble finding a book. I've had nothing but good luck using their service.
