Title: Tony's Second Book on Aircraft Guns?
Post by: Vermillion on October 30, 2003, 07:36:04 AM

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?

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.
