I'll be brazen once again and bother everybody with announcement for two new books from Harpia, including one from your very own. - http://www.harpia-publishing.com/galleries/AMV6/index.html'>Arab MiGs, Volume 6 (clicky for animated pre-view => http://www.harpia-publishing.com/galleries/AMV6/index.html ) This is a preliminary end of this series, which over the last seven years of work and publishing turned into a sort of 'encyclopaedia of Arab air forces at war with Israel, 1955-1973'. This volume is covering the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War (also 'Yom Kippour' or 'October' or 'Teshreen' War), from 9 October 1973, until the Israeli-Syrian cease-fire in May 1974. It bristles with related stories and photos, of course, and is richly illustrated with artworks/colour profiles (some 43 of these) too. So, definitely a 'must have' for any modeller curious to build authentic Arab jets from 1973 (BTW, as usually, we're not only covering MiGs and Sukhois, but other types in service, so that Iraqi Hunters, Libyan Mirages, all sorts of helicopters and transports, and even Moroccan F-5As are covered too). - http://www.harpia-publishing.com/galleries/RuWp/index.html'>Russia's Warplanes (clicky for animated pre-view => http://www.harpia-publishing.com/galleries/RuWp/index.html ) Right on time (considering what are Russians doing in Syria), here comes a volume offering a unique 'catalogue' of all Russian-made aircraft - plus helicopters, UAVs, etc. - currently in production and in world-wide service. This one is designed to become indispensable source of reference, so it's structured as a sort of 'handbook', listing all variants, their equipment, armament etc., and its author, Piotr Butowski, is really the authority on this topic. Of course, this volume is richly illustrated too - and then with plenty of truly exclusive photographs (from Piotr, but also from a number of relatively unknown, but very active Russian military aviation photographers).
