Verm you bastige where did you get this book - I've been hunting it for ages and both Amazon and Barnes&Noble stood me up  


p.s. B-2 (a late-war 20mm cannon used in La-7s) weighted just 25 kilos firing 96 g rounds at 800 rpm with 800 m/s muzzle velocity. Even with syncronization 3 of those would deliver a lethal punch with no convergence issues to worry about - bring it on!

Really Lynx? Damn I got mine from Barnes&Noble online. Ordered both the fighter and attack/bomber book, and I got them in two days.  

Strange, that they are hard to get, because I even saw a set when I was on a trip and was in the King of Prussia Mall, in Philly, a couple of weeks back and saw them in a bookstore there.

Keep looking, they're great.

Vermillion,

If you were in Philly you were in my backyard you know. You were in Gene's books in King of Prussia. However next time your in the neighborhood let me know and I'll direct you to the king of all military book stores about 20minutes from the mall. It has every Schiffer publication I've seen in their catalogs as well as a lot of european press that you don't get at B&N.

Later

Sounds great F4UDOA

I don't get up that way very often, but next time I'm there, I will get in touch.

My Girlfriend lives in Lancaster (I live 7 hours southwest of there) and we just happened to be up in that area shopping and I stopped in Gene's. In fact thats where I picked up that great Ta-152 book I told all of you about.

Always looking for a great military book store.   Of course with as many as I have, I could almost start my own WWII/Aircraft book store

Bring on IL-2...we need flying tank....

I've read somewhere then when German pilots where shooting at IL-2 (sometimes)bullets balanced off.   Just think of people(in AH) crying after they shoot IL-2 for 15min and nothing happens...SWEET!!!
