Dewoitine D.520

Here is another book series that I really enjoyed called "Les Ailes de Gloire" from the French publisher Editions d'Along. The D.520 was number 8 in the line and the the others were on different French military aircraft. Mostly the World War II era, but some post-war. These titles were in French, but some of the earlier ones had an English translation sheet included. Even in French these are wonderful little books. At 7 x 10, softcover, and 68 pages they are full of photos, drawings, color profiles, and scale drawings. I have not seen a new one in several years and I think the company is out of business. That is too bad. I will miss them.
