Hi everyone – it’s been brought to my attention that unfortunately there is a printing error in the He 115 book.

The contents page alludes to a chapter ten, namely ‘The Heinkel He 115 compared to similar contemporary seaplanes’ and there are apparent ‘missing’ pages. This is not the case. At a late stage in the design process we decided to eliminate chapter ten completely. Unfortunately the printers failed to realise this. Therefore the pagination seems to skip from pp.325 to pp.330 (which were the pages earmarked for ch.1o). This also explains why there are three or four apparent ‘extra’ blank pages at the end of the book

*REST ASSURED* there is no missing content – what should be there, is there. The pagination is correct, and the chapters listed on the contents page refer to the correct page numbers.

I would like to apologise for this oversight. We spent literally hundreds of hours editing, checking and checking again…but there is no accounting for errors by other parties. This does sometimes happen in the publishing world.

Once again – the book is exactly how it should be, and contains the exact information we wished to put in the book – there is just a ‘ghost’ chapter ten! I hope this does not spoil your enjoyment of the book.

What I might do is to provide the ‘missing’ chapter online, for free, as a red-only or possibly downloadable PDF file – please bear with me on that point.

Rich at Chandos

 

It give me great pleasure to announce that Chandos Publications, in association with Robert Forsyth at Chevron Publishing, will soon realise a long-held ambition to release the first in what we hope will be a long-running compendium relating to the Luftwaffe and co-belligerent air forces. Drawing on the talents of many well known names in the Luftwaffe research and writing community, each issue will be packed with stories, photographs and artwork. There are many fascinating pieces of information on the Axis air forces that are still unpublished, that are too short for a regular book, but are also too important to sit on a hard drive ad finitum. ‘Axis Wings’ aims to make these stories known, accompanied by specially commissioned artwork, and photographs from private collections. Each issue will be approximately 200 pages long, in a softcover format. The price will be around £40 per issue, and initially we plan to release two issues per annum. A subscription with a reduced price is something that we will consider if there is strong enough interest. The success of this project very much depends on how well the concept is received, but as long as there is a demand we will keep working. We hope that ‘Axis Wings’ will grow organically, and become self-perpetuating, and to that end we welcome the submission of stories, photographs and comments for future editions.

Planned publication date is the first quarter of 2024

Dear Luftwaffe fans!

Due to popular demand, we are going ahead with a limited reprint of both Hs 129 Panzerjager! and Blitz Bombers. We hope to take delivery of the books at the end of May. Both domestic and Worldwide customers can now go ahead and pre-order both titles direct from the shop on this website, or alternately wait until the items are listed for sale on our eBay store. The advantages of buying on eBay are that any taxes due are paid at source – this feature is more relevant to customers outside of the UK. Domestic customers please feel free to pre-order direct from our website.

If you purchase more than one title, you will receive an automatic 10% discount!

The books will also be available from EU and US distributers. If in doubt, please drop us a line for advice.

 

Hi everyone,

It’s been a really strange year, and there have been several developments at Chandos too.

First of all, there will be a delay to the He 219 book. This is perhaps inevitable given the huge amount of new information we have uncovered. We hope to get the book to press *sometime* in 2021.

The Bf 109 T book by Francis L. Marshall is in the copy-editing stage, with work due to start on profiles, drawings, design and layout in the first half of 2021.

Finally, we have signed a new book on the the History of the Do 17 Z-7, Do 17 Z-10 & Do 215 B-5, the ‘Kauz’ night-fighters of Dornier, by Mikael Olrog. Again, we hope to have the manuscript in our hands in early 2021, with a view to publishing the book at the end of 2021 / in early 2022

all the best & we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
