Title: Aircraft of the Fighting Powers Reprints
Post by: Will on June 19, 2014, 12:16:31 PM
I just wandered into a local community centre charity bookshop on the way back from a site meeting and picked up both the 1979/1980 reprints of the Aircraft of the Fighting Powers.  In virtually as new condition and priced at 50p (about 70cents) each!  From the introduction Argus Books planned reprinting all of them, starting at 7 and working back but I believe only 6 & 7 were reissued.  These ones will probably get more use than my originals which are somewhat delicate and made out of many varieties of paper.

Intriguingly, these reprints are almost the same age now as the originals when the reissue was done!
