I have it, some good info.   An even better one was found at Waldenbooks for $20.   It's about 500 pages, and in depth on every WWII ride.

Color plates are sometimes two full pages.

I don't have a scanner large enuff to scan most of them to post for skinners.

This is another book by Enzo Angeluccci, it covers all military aircraft from 1914 to the "present."  It is rather general even though it has a lot of info it doesn't get too deep into the different variants of each aircraft.  It is also a coffee table book.

This is another book I like to use in conjunction with the "Enzo" book.  It goes much more in depth into the variants of each plane and only covers WW2 planes.  It is missing a few planes and doesn't have as many drawings but has more nice photos.  It has 512 pages.

oh thoese pretty gladiators and cr42s what fun it would be flying around in them pinging up f4u4 and spit 16s :rofl

one thing i noticed on the page of markings is the romanian ones are back to front.the 1944 one should be the 1941 one.

Hajo if theres a skin you would like scan the picture in in parts then use something to paste it all togeather and then resize it.
