He 219 Manuscript is now in the editing stage

I’m excited to announce that the manuscript for our forthcoming book on the He 219 is now at the editing stage. Over the next 4 months we will revise it, and the design and layout process will begin. This is an ambitious project, and we are aiming for the most comprehensive book ever published in English on the type, which is no mean feat. More news and announcements as soon as possible!

Blitz Bombers and Hs 129 books now sold out!

Many thanks to the hundreds of you who bought both ‘Hs 129 Panzerjager’ and ‘Blitz Bombers’. These two titles are now completely sold out. If there is enough interest I may be able to organise a short print run of both titles, but I would need a minimum of a couple of hundred orders.

Once again, thank you and enjoy the books

New Arado 234 Book – Now Taking Pre-Orders!

I am pleased to announce that the our Arado 234 Book ‘Blitz Bombers’ is now ready to pre-order!  Under normal circumstances, once the print order is placed I could expect delivery in 4-6 weeks. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this timeframe will most likely be extended by a couple of weeks. However, I have been assured that our printer is operating as usual.

If you would like to place your pre-order, then please head to our shop. I will fulfil your order ASAP after delivery of the books, which I expect to be towards the end of June 2020.

Many thanks for your support.

Stay inside, stay safe and keep reading!

Overwhelmingly positive magazine reviews for our Hs 129 book!

Over the past few weeks the review orders we sent out to various well-regarded magazines has paid dividends. The response has been fantastic. Here are some (truncated) examples of what our critics have been saying. Many thanks to them all!

 

‘Martin Pegg’s standard work on the Hs 129 had been out of print for a long time. Finally, now available is a revised and carefully expanded new edition….Even those with the first edition of this book may… purchase this new edition with confidence – and this also very clearly applies to all other interested parties: buy it! ‘

– Flugzeug Classic Magazine (Germany) Nov 2019 issue

 

‘For the model makers among us, nothing is missing! Exciting and really useful, especially as a 1/32 Hs 129  has been announced …. the book very quickly sold out on release and the publishers ordered a reprint. Take advantage of it before it finally disappears.’

– Cocardes Magazine (France) Dec 2019/Jan 2020 issue

 

‘With the imminent release in 1/32 of the Henschel Hs 129 by Japanese manufacturer Zoukei Mura, the publication of this magnificent tome could not have been better timed. Within its pages…we are treated to what must surely be the most comprehensive publication yet published…’

– Tamiya Model Magazine International (UK) Dec 2019 issue

 

‘Only rarely does a book come along for review which can be described in superlatives only…I can say that Pegg’s book is, without doubt, one of the finest of its kind…the editorial team had no hesitation in nominating this remarkable publication as Editor’s Choice for this issue.’

– Iron Cross Magazine (UK) issue No.3 December 2019

Hs 129 almost sold out / New Zoukei Mura kit imminent

Hi everyone.

Many thanks for the overwhelmingly positive response to ‘Henschel Hs 129 Panzerjager’. The book is proving to be extremely popular, and as such the initial print run is almost sold out. The model-makers among you will also be well aware of the impending 1/32 Zoukei-Mura über-kit, which will be released in three versions at the end of 2019 / beginning of 2020.  If you’re forking out all that money on the best kit, why not treat yourself to the best book? You’ll only have yourself to blame if they are sold out by then!

Secure your copy today before it’s too late…

Heinkel He 219 Book Confirmed for late 2020

I am pleased to be able to announce the third book in our ‘Luftwaffe Library’ series, on the famed He 219 ‘Uhu’ Nightfighter. Drawing on the vast experience and knowledge base of three authors and many other contributors, this book looks set to be the ‘ultimate’ reference on the type. Dutch researcher Marcel Hogenhuis, British radar expert Martin Streetly and Norwegian author Kjetil Aakra will be ably assisted by our regular Chandos team of Robert Forsyth, Eddie J. Creek, Mark Nelson and Maciej Noszczak. This will be a big book with hundreds of photos and lots of colour profiles, plus top-of-the-line scale drawings. I cannot wait to give you more details but for now the authors are busy working on the book!

Book is now at final layout stage!

It’s been a while since I blogged, so I will update you as to the status of Hs 129 Panzerjager… the manuscript has been submitted, the profiles are done. We have new and improved drawings from Arthur Bentley. All photos have been selected and captioned. The final page count is going to be very close to 296. The book is now with our designer and layout specialist, Mark Nelson. We are hoping to get the book to the printers in the next couple of weeks, and after that it’s only a matter of time! I will update everyone with details about how you can purchase the book, the price and the availability in due course.

Thank you for your patience, it’s been a long road but we will get there in the end!
