Inspired by a first edition published in 1997, this is a new presentation, greatly enriched, with a totally renovated photographic choices.
This book traces precisely the career of the Nord 2501 Noratlas from its conception at the end of the 40s until its withdrawal from the final service in the late 80s. Many versions tailored to specific needs were extrapolated, including electronic warfare.
Also reviewed are foreign military users (Germany, Israel, Portugal, Greece, and many African countries), and some civilian companies like UAT and Air Algeria who passed command of the North 2502 versions with extra reactors. Nord Aviation tried to find other opportunities with N.2503 versions, N.2506, N.2508, but too late to be successful.
6 maps, 23 color profiles, 8 b/w drawings as well as a complete production list. More than 1000 photos!
Vol. II (and also Vol. I ) contain the most comprehensive history of an air unit in combat ever produced. This includes a detailed narrative text, an outstanding collection of black and white and original color photography, extensive maps showing the unit operating areas, bases, missions and losses, and incredible artwork, including 56 aircraft color profiles and seven full color battle scene paintings done by world renowned aviation artist Jack Fellows. Nothing like this has ever been produced before in aviation literature.
Here are the specifications for Volume II, which covers the B-24 era of the unit from October 1943 to the end of the war in 1945:
464 pages of new material, 32-page color section, 32 B-24 color aircraft profiles, 4 color combat paintings as well as 677 black and white photos.
Between the two volumes, there are:
880 pages, 48 color pages, 56 B-17 and B-24 aircraft color profiles, 7 color combat paintings, 1200+ black and white photos.
Approx. 150 photos, color profiles of 16 aircraft, tables, maps.
The difficulties connected with implementation of Me 262 into operational service especially the lack of experienced fighters resulted in a rare process of retraining pilots from disbanded Kampfgeschwaders to jet fighters. The end of the process combat sorties of retrained pilots with Me 262s is described in the title Messerschmitt Me 262s of KG & KG(J) Units.
This study covers historical background of Kampfgeschwaders transfer into Kampfgeschwader(J) units with focus on KG 6 and KG(J) 6 and its training in the area of Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren. The historical text part is followed by detailed analysis of 16 Bf 106G-6, G-10 and K-4 used by the unit.
We are announcing the first release of the new series of books detailing specific aircraft flown by the Luftwaffe during WWII. Following the same format as the familiar and popular Wings of the Black Cross, each Special will provide supporting text and background, expanded photo coverage plus additional color profiles.
The initial release will focus on the Messerschmitt Bf 110 as it saw service throughout the war in many different roles. This 52 page book, includes a brief history of the aircraft and its various operational roles, both day and night, and concludes with a concise history of the aircraft’s camouflage and markings. Of the 77 photos, most are unpublished from the private collection of Mark Proulx plus a few from selected contributors, and are presented in large format. Extensive captioning provides specific details found in each image.
Highly regarded and recognized aviation illustrator Fernando Estanislau, brings his unique talents to Eagle Editions Ltd. for the first time, complimenting the book with ten detailed color profiles.
