693514V Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Found this at a used book store on the CT shoreline Sunday.Mint shape,and only $12.00 US!! I checked on Bookfinder.com and couldn't find one for less the $50.00+ !! Seems to be a good book,lots of photos(no color),plenty of aircraft with panels open,and other such modeling reference. Any one else have this book,or know about the author and if his work is accurate? Just wondering..... Scott J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 He wrote the Putnam book on Hawker Aircraft. His work is likely to be definitive on anything Hawker-built! bestest, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitnut617 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) When searching for info on the Tempest Mk.III, Mk.IV, Hawker P.1027 & P.1030 I had contacted the Brooklands Museum, and I was told that Francis Mason is 'the' man when it comes to books on Hawker.

Dave Fleming Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Pretty much what the others have said. Is that the Aston book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousFO98 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Don't suppose you fancy donating it to a worthy cause... Have come across other Francis K Mason titles- all from the Hawker stable. Seems to be an authority on such matters Looks like you got youself a real bargain i am not jealous i am not jealous i am not jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
