Lightning revisited - the second Lightning in action, July 4, 2002
This review is from: P-38 Lightning in Action - Aircraft No. 109 (Paperback)
At first glance this seems a reissue of Lightning in action, aircraft no.25, but that is NOT the case. It is a different book, by a different writer, with the same title and the same publisher, but published 14 years later. Since I own both books I ought to know. Though both are made within the same Squadron/Signal in action-formula, the contents differ enough to make it worthwhile to buy both books. Loads of photographs, splendid (color)artwork, and also very informative. This one has even 8 extra pages compared to the earlier title.
I don't understand this policy of Squadron/Signal, they should name this one "Lightning in action, Volume 2", I had to ask the shopowner where I bought my copy whether there was any difference between the two books with the same title and he assured me that when the numbers differ, the contents differ also. This not only applies to this plane, there are at least ten "doubles" within the renowned 'in action series', and they are all worth of buying that second copy.
