I enjoy these coffee table type books too. I don't have any of the ones you have pictured specifically, but I do have a few in the Warbird Tech series.... "F-105 Thunderchief" and "F-4 Gun Nosed Phantoms", both are excellent. A couple that I have in my library that you might enjoy are Janes at the controls series "how to fight and fly in the F-14 Tomcat", (a must have for serious Tomcat fans) and from the publishers of Aviation Week and Space Tehcnology "F-105 Thunderchief, Workhorse of the Vietnam War" a real coffee table classic. BTW, the bottom of your banner reads "SLAVA!", (an orthodox christian custom of celebrating a family patron saint)... any idea what the top part says??

Hey Ostketten... Slava translated from Russian is "Glory" and I take it that it too has alternate translations as you referenced. The top word, I couldnt get a literal translation for... The other text says "Red Army" (Krasnaya Armii) I believe this was from the Great Patriotic War (WWII in our parlance) That F-14 book you have sounds like something I'd like to get. When was it published? Is it still avail. as far as you know?

Hey Mig, thanks for translation, yeah it makes perfect sense now, very unusual for the Soviets to invoke slogans with a religious theme, just was not their style. Check here for the book...
http://www.amazon.com/Janes-Fight-F-14- ... F8&s=books First published in 1999, it looks like it has gotten a little pricey in the meantime. A couple places you might check as well are ebay and half.com, good luck.
