The Bell Cobra's described

This is my 8th book about the Airacobra, and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of -new or at least unknown to me- information and the quality of the photographs. Though modellers might probably prefer the Osprey "P-39 Airacobra Aces of World War 2"; the Squadron/Signal aircraft in action no.43 "P-39 Airacobra in Action" or even the Aircraft in Profile no. 165 "The Bell P-39 Airacobra" for the color sideviews and paint schemes or will value the Squadron/Signal "P-39 Airacobra in detail and scale" for it's description of the various kits which are available, plus the detail photographs.This book however is more in the line of Rick Mitchell's "Airacobra Advantage: The Flying Cannon", one of the best overal books about the Airacobra. Compared to this book it is better illustrated and has a more pleasant layout, comparable to two books about the Airacobra who are sadly not easily available: the Polish AJ-Press "Monografie Lotnicze Nos. 58 and 59. Amongst all these books this book still manages to offer me new facts, photographs, overviews and drawings, a remarkable fact considering that it is by far the cheapest book around for this plane.
