Military aircraft Insignia of the World - John Cochrane/Stewart
Crecy Publications
GBP 14.95
Pp 142
Books on aircraft roundels are very rare - almost none in the last 15 years .Hence this is a real labour of passion and it has taken almost 15 years since the publication of the first book by Airlife for a publisher to finally go ahead on this exotic subject.
Its In glorious full colour - and comprises around 142 Pp (the authors originally planned a detailed 2 volume which Crecy compressed into a single volume - depicts all the latest roundels for all the countries including all the notable historical roundels for countries which no longer exist like Katanga , Biafra etc approx 500 + in all - the opening description of Afghanistan with around 9 historical roundels and a 2 Page history sets up a nice opening.
i think the book could have done with another 50 Pp if the publisher had done more justice to the original text submitted and included more photographs or artwork profiles and published in a bigger size as the first edition done by Airlife than the A5 - nevertheless i am quite excited as its a long awaited update on this esoteric topic and a must buy.
