African MiGs

Post by Morian Miner » Mon Mar 07, 2005 6:19 pm

Farther down on the posts was me trying to find this. Well, I ordered it from the publisher in Austria, and it did hurt ($70 US). Then, I get it, and its a paper cover and only about a 1/2" thick.

But, man, what a cool book. It pretty much goes country by country alphabetically and give the history of their air force, followed by illustrations showing paint schemes. No pictures, unfortunately. But the biggest thing is how much info it gives on wars that have been fought in Africa up to 2003. Considering you generally hear little to nothing about these, the book is great. Somebody better put out a MiG21 soon, and after reading on Ethiopia/Eteria, I want some Sukoys too. If you get a chance, definitely take a look at this.
