Do your best to get a reprint from thr '90s.  There were changes in it that fixed things in the original english translation that Sakai had not approved and didn't like.

I don't know if that is true for a German version or not (of course, I'm not sure you're looking for a German version either).

Great book.  It should be in every WWII aircraft buff's collection.

I come across copies of this book from time to time.
If you don't find a copy, make a post, or contact me while online, with your email address, and I'll keep my eye out.  Usually it costs from $3.00 to $5.00 used, in decent shape.
