Mike VE Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi All. I'm trying to build up my references about markings and camouflage of the Armée de l’Air 1935-45. The "On Target Special: Battle of Britain" has quite a good summary but does not give its sources. I have tracked down a series of articles in a French magazine from the 80s but it has gaps. Does anyone know of a good book or articles on the subject? I can cope with reading French - slowly. What I really want is a French Paul Lucas!

Graham Boak Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm afraid the best volumes I can recommend are long out of print and only available at highly inflated prices. Look for the late Christian-Jacques Ehrengardt on Google. I believe that his last book is about to be published, on just this subject, but have been unable to track down just where I saw that. Keep your eyes open for it. I would recommend in the meantime to build up your stock of French magazines such as Aero Journal or Air magazine. These may be obtained from specialist aviation bookshops or direct subscription. Is there some particular gap that you are interested in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitfire Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I could not find a comprehensive book on the subject, these are the references that I used for my builds. Cheers Dennis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leyreynolds Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Histoire & Collections some years ago had a WingMasters Hors Serie issue on the subject which is occasionally available on E-bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leyreynolds Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Another good reference is Aero Editions Hors Serie 1, Aviation Francaise 1938-45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
