  • Book; German Aircraft Props of WW1; Part One

    A note to let fellow forumites know that I have just published Part One of my series on WW1 German prop makers. It covers makers from Adastra to Germania

    It can be ordered direct from my website;
    http://www.aeroclocks.com/

    It consists of 207 pages and 292 illustrations.

    We have produced it with softback covers to reduce the cost.

    The introduction to the German Propeller Industry, published six months ago, is also available on my website.

    With kind regards,

    Bob

      Morning Ryszard!

      Does your surname, Wrobel, translate into English as Sparrow?

      With kind regards, and thanks for ordering the book, to which you have contributed much.
