Dear fellow enthusiasts,
I am very pleased to announce the launch of a new publishing company called Air War Publications. The aim of the company is to produce high-quality books about the operations, units and personnel of the Luftwaffe and Allied air forces during the Second World War.
The first book available from Air War Publications is 'Focke-Wulf Fw190 in the Battle for Sicily', written by Morten Jessen and Andrew Arthy. This title covers the service of Fw190 units in the Mediterranean theatre in the four-month period from the Axis surrender in North Africa to the invasion of the Italian mainland, with the focus on the role of the Fw190 in the Sicilian campaign of July and August 1943. It features many first-hand accounts from personnel of both sides, along with numerous photographs, maps, and colour aircraft profiles. The book describes many eventful and successful Fw190 anti-shipping operations and attacks on Allied landing forces. It also describes the serious problems hampering Fw190 operations, such as the devastating Allied bombing campaign against Sicilian airfields, a severe lack of operational aircraft, and the pressure placed on senior Fw190 unit leaders by their superiors, including the threats of court martial made against two of them. This title is a sequel to the book 'Focke-Wulf Fw190 in North Africa', written by the same authors. The book specifications are:
•Size: 25 x 31,5 cm
•Format: hardcover, 224 pages in colour
•137 black-and-white & 3 colour photographs
•11 colour aircraft profiles by Claes Sundin
•16 colour maps, 4 emblems & 12 illustrations
•10 appendices, including loss & victory lists, camouflage & markings information, tactics, escort fighter material, statistical tables, & aircraft profiles with information for modellers
Please visit www.airwarpublications.com for further information, a book sample, free downloads of additional book-related material, flight sim skins from profiles in the book, and more.
Kind regards,
Morten Jessen
