Taken as an accumulation of photographs with solid captioning this an excellent monograph and certainly worth the money if you’re detailing one of the two models available. And as mentioned the captioning is solid. (Except for a minor glitch on page 12. The order given on the lower row is reversed.) Overall, for some reason I disappointed by the amount of text that was available. To be fair, the text that is present while sparse is reasonably informative. But you get let down by its paucity. For example, the issue with nacelles gets a short paragraph with no discussions about attempts to rectify it. Considering Stan Piet from the Martin Museum Archives is listed as a contributor, that’s somewhat surprising.
As casual observation, it was interesting to see how fast Martin made initial progress, from contract acceptance on the 29th of December while the Battle of the Bulge was being fought to the start of mock-up inspection on April 19th little more than two weeks before VE day was impressive, even by the standards of the day.
While one can sing high praises of the monograph as a modeling reference and viewed as akin to a walkaround volume this is a solid if somewhat overpriced purchase. As a history of the aircraft? It’s a bit disappointing when stacked up against other AF Legends offerings.
Strongly Recommended for modelers, non-modelers approach with caution.… (plus d'informations)
