Indeed so. I'm awaiting official confirmation.

Ok. It was supposed to be released on the AFMC website, but for whatever reason it wasn't... so now it's released here:
https://wss.apan.org/public/AFMC-History-Office/Shared Documents/F-16XL Book_Final-web (1).pdf


NOTE: This seems to be REAL slow at downloading. Might be packed with people trying to download all at once, dunno. But it does eventually get the job done.
Whatever issue it had being slow, it seemed to get over. Downloads in seconds now.

Scott -This is great, thanks! I had no problem downloading. Do you know if there will be a hard copy avaliable?

Download was a breeze for me. Very interesting book. Thanks Scott (and of course, Tony).

As mentioned on the previous page, a print-on-demand is now available through Amazon. Via Tony, this is legit:

How's the quality of their stuff from Amazon's POD? If the quality is good a hardcopy might be worth it.

Tony said that it's not quite as good as traditional offset printing, but he's happy with it. I have no first-hand knowledge, however. It seems that this will be the only official hardcopy release.

Logged in and noticed it had a price "drop" of 36%. 2 days ago it was $29.38

The price is often lower prior to release.

OK, I purchased the book from hamazon and quick delivery worked well.

A quick glance shows lots of picture and detail but the paper quality leaves much to be desired for £32.

That aspect is not impressing at all.

I almost pulled the trigger and bought this last night. But I keep hearing the paper quality is sub-par.

I have the digital copy but do prefer to have a physical version tbh, a bit of an old fart perhaps. Consider the paper standard of the average comic book (Tintin etc) and they are much better paper quality than this book. Down to the printers of course.
