Conway pioneered a new type of pocket manual and it is great that this series is continuing to be supported by new owners Bloomsbury. What was revolutionary was the production of pocket manuals that actually did fit into pockets, were priced within the reach of even the younger reader, but provided content to satisfy the professional and the serious enthusiast. This new addition to the series covers the De Havilland Mosquito, an all-time great of fighter design and production. A fitting book for an immortal aircraft, most enthusiastically recommended.
This is the eagerly awaited soft back edition of Stockwin’s latest novel to be released. Once again, it is an exciting naval story that is based on some of the least well-known key events of the Napoleonic Wars period. It also means that we don’t have long to wait for publication of the next tale, ‘Inferno’, in hard back. Stockwin has established himself as the leading story naval story teller of his generation.Once again there is a fresh crisp instalment in the saga of his two fictional heroes, Kydd and Renzi. This really is a book not to be missed.
