'The Irish Air Corps - An Illustrated Guide' by Joe Maxwell and Patrick J. Cummins (Product code IAC1: $50)

Soft cover, 280 pages. Our old friend and Max Decals majordomo Joe Maxwell and his co-author have really come up with the goods on this fascinating new book. To quote the publisher himself:

"Thoroughly researched and highly informative, The Irish Air Corps - An Illustrated Guide provides a wealth of material for the aviation enthusiast, historian and scale modeller. Tracing its origins back to 1922 the Irish Air Corps is one of the smallest air arms in Western Europe, yet it has been equipped with a wide variety of aircraft types over its 87 year history. Here in one volume is a complete account of every aircraft and helicopter type operated by the Air Corps, each illustrated with colour photos or high quality colour profiles for the types for which only black and white photos exist. Visually stunning, this definitive guide sheds new light on an important aspect of Ireland's aviation heritage.
The book is intended to bring to the publics attention some little known facets of the Air Corps from the past such as gliding at Baldonnel using gliders built during the 1930s, the use of amphibious aircraft during WW2, operation of such iconic aircraft as Spitfires and Hurricanes and the introduction of the first jet to see Air Corps service, the de Havilland Vampire. "

Be warned that the book weighs in at over 3lbs (1.5Kg). Shipping and handling will be either the minimum $7.50 (for most of the Eastern US) or at cost, whichever is the higher. For instance, shipping to California would cost approx. $11 via USPS Priority Mail flat rate box, and airmail to Canada would set you back US$17.
 

MiG-21bis (Product Code: ACE 12)

Excellent Polish-language book  (with an English summary) on the MiG-21bis series. Features many profiles (4 color and b/w) and 1/72 scale plans. A steal at $10.50.
