5.0 out of 5 stars Still the reference bible for modellers, June 30, 2002

By	D. P. Broer (LEIDEN, ZH Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Compared with the Aero series title about the Corsair this books stands out by beating the other on al fronts. It has one page more, but instead of five sideviews you get more than forty. It has more and better text and it has more photographs, though not all of the same quality as in the Maloney-Feist book. If your funds are not unlimited and if you had to choose between these two books when you come across them in a second-hand bookshop I would urge you to take this one.
By the way, it was published in Britain by Osprey as Aircam no.23 and in the States as Arco/Aircam no.28 by Arco Publishing. Together with the Maloney/Feist book and the two "Aircraft in Profile" publications it was pretty much all you could buy about this plane when I started reading about WW2 aviation. Since then a lot of books have been published, but no book has as yet rivalled this one in the amount of color side vews.
