Hi,
since I insisted a lot for the new edition, I thought it would be fair to tell you my opinion about it
1) First of all, thank you a lot for your great work! It´s really good to have again a updated edition in your hands. I hope, we will see again every year a updated book be published
2) The idea with the colored pictures was a very good one. It gives the whole book a special touch!
3) The new format is a little bit small. I didn´t had any problems with the old one, it always was possible to take it with you in your camera bag. In the new one, you don´t have enough space for comments, corrections, etc.
4) There are a few entries that I don´t understand. For example, you have included the S300 battery of the HAF. In this case, why didn´t you also include the Patriot batteries? They have the same status.
5) Did you thought, in the next edition to include maybe also the most common to see in (Western) Europe Russian & Ukrainian Air Force planes (especially since the UkrAF Su-27´s participate relatively a lot in airshows abroad)? By the way, thank you for including again the Singapore M346 and A-4!
6) It´s only my personal opinion, but I would like it more if the different air arms (Air Force, Naval Aviation, Army Aviation, Paramilitary, Government) would be separated. It would be a lot more easier to see what you have and what not.
7) There are a few bad layout faults.
and finally, my wish for next year,
Do you plan any updated American edition?
I hope the above is not coming through to negative. That´s for sure not my intention!!! As I said, the book is great and I sure we all want only the best for you and all of us.
