This review is from: Macchi Mc.202 Folgore (Paperback)

...and a good value to the general enthusiast.

In the 96 pages of this B5 sized book (6-1/2" x 9-1/2") you get a brief development history with 1/72nd scale drawings, a brief service history, 40 pages of close up color photos of the two survivors, and 24 pages of color profiles.

Complaints are few. The dimensions of the book only allow 1/72nd scale drawings so the asymmetry of the C.202 wing does not show up well. The port wing is about 5% longer than the starboard. The colors in the profiles are given only in Italian (ex: Grigio Azzuro Chiaro); a table of translations would have been nice. A brief summary of Italian markings would have been helpful; the cowling script "4° F. Baracca", which appears on both survivors, is a 4° Stormo marking, not a personal marking.

But this is picking nits. If you can find a copy of this out of print card cover at a reasonable price you shouldn't regret the purchase.
