The author of this book, Jose Fernandez, may be well known to some as he has written or is associated with numerous aviation publications, including one of my favourites, the excellent Air Magazine. What may be less well known is that he owns a model shop in Paris, and has realised some kits as joint projects between Air Magazine and Azur (a Czech MPM-Group brand). Suffice to say, he has a good understanding of what appeals to modellers as well as aviation historians.

This review deals with the third volume in The French Wings series, published in English by Stratus Books of Poland. This soft-cover A4 portrait format booklet covers the Breguet 27, Potez 39 and Mureaux 115/117. Both French and foreign service is covered where applicable.  It includes aircraft development backgrounds, operational service, and deals with various versions of these three aircraft. Replete with superb photos and well-executed artwork, everything is sensibly organised and easy to read.

French aircraft of the 1930’s and 40’s are not everyone’s cup of tea, but for those who do appreciate the subject this represents a valuable resource, and is highly recommended.

Highly Recommended.
