MMP (Mushroom Model Publications) is a book publisher based in the U.K. All their books are printed in Sandomierz Poland by their associate Stratus in English. Stratus also does books in Polish too.
This new book is hard-cover in 8 ¼” X 12” page size format of 176 total pages.
The book contains 9 color photos, no less than 277 black and white period photos and around 60 color illustrations. These consist of the following aircraft:
3 side profiles of the Avia B534-IV
2 side profiles of the Pzl-11a
A side profile of the WM-23 prototype and a 2-view
12 side profiles of the Reggione Re-2000 and two illustrations of the top of it.
A side profile of the Bf-109G-1
10 side profiles of the Bf-109G-6, one 2-view and an illustration of the top of it.
A side profile of the Bf-109G-14
3 side profiles of the Bf-109G-10 and an illustration of the top of it.
A side profile of the Me-110-J
A side profile of the Me-110-G
A illustration of the top of a Me-110-G4
3 side profiles of the Me-210-C
5 side profiles of the Fw-190-F8 and one illustration of the top of it.
Also in color are paint swatches of 3 colors the Hungarians used on their aircrafts. There is a color illustration of just the tail of a Me-210 and 8 color illustrations of Hungarian squadron logos
There is a 30 page bibliography at the end of the book that is a wealth of information about the structure of the Hungarian Air Force in WWII.
The back cover shows the color art work for Vol. 1, which is the companion to this book, and is reviewed here on INDY AMPS.
This book came to me from Casemate Publishing in Pennsylvania in a heavily padded envelope to protect it and 4 other MMP publications. The other 4 will appear in the side soon too.
I highly recommend this series of 2 books to aviation historians and modelers.
I want to thank Roger Wallsgrove, Editor-in-Chief of MMP and the folks at Casemate for this review sample.
