REVI, - known mainly
for high quality magazines (published bimonthly) put on the market their 14th
book.
And what a treat for
WW I fans! K.u.k. Luftfahrtruppe Photo Album 1914-18 Volume 1 by Petr
Oharon Tesar is a compilation of what REVI published in the past 10 years on the
pages of their magazine. But this is not just a reprint. This book includes many
new photos - a total of 156 of them literally packed on 84 pages. The quality of
reproductions is just incredible and used high quality paper just adds to the
value. Most of these photos were not published ever before. Many of these are
from private family collections of K.u.k. Luftfahrtruppe descendants, Czech
Museums and Archives. The entire text is in English.
What amazes me most
are some of the photos featuring single aircraft from multiple angles - just
ideal for recreations of the color schemes. Which makes this publication a great
reference for modelers.
23 superb color
profiles on 13 pages are work of Zdenek Machacek - one of the top Czech Aviation
artists. The covered aircraft includes: Fokker A.III (E.III), Fokker B.II,
Albatros D.III, Hanriot HD.1, Phoenix D.I, Phoenix D.II,Sopwith F.1 Camel,
Hansa Brandenburg C.I and Ufag C.I.
On page 83 you can
also find a little "teaser ad" for upcoming AML Decals featuring some
of the aircraft from this book (the scale is not mentioned).
