Out mid November. Hopefully it may be possible to get an early copy at SMW. Couple of years ago one of the Japanese titles was available at SMW a couple of weeks prior to publication date.

That price is a bit scary however - copywrite fees perhaps ? We know what some of thise aerospace companies are like  ;D ;D

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

This price-thing happens frequently when amazon lists items that are not available yet.

I just wonder if there's ANY benefit vs. the former US Secret Projects since WWII books (fighters and bombers)?

That may be a reissue in a new format as was done with the Japanese Secret Project books.

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

It's the 11 cents that does it.  ;D

This book is WWII era projects, not post-war projects, on the lines of BSP: Fighters & Bombers 1935-50.

I've been waiting for this one, glad to see it's got a cover.  I think it's one of Convair's flying wing wing alternatives to the B-36.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Very much so Jon and I'm looking forward to it.

I'd love to see a book on Italian and French projects, perhaps with those by other European producers as well. I heard a rumour a few years ago that an Italian one was being worked on. No idea how true it was though.

It's a Convair design for a tailless patrol bomber from around 1943, abandoned in 1944.
