Today I got my hands on Ploesti: Low Level Strike by Corneliu Nastase, Dan Melinte & Razvan Bujor.

The book is printed in an A4 landscape format, having the look of of an album. This look is backed up by the contents, which is extemely rich in photographs (many of which I haven't seen published before) and color profiles. I counted 28 regular profiles and another 4 jumbo size ones on special folded pages. The more important details are enlarged and each has a generous caption presenting the fate of the aircraft. In fact, that is its main purpouse: presenting the fate of the aircraft that fell on Romanian soil during Operation Tidal Wave, on both sides.

It also contains a compact text (in both Romanian and English), which presents the story of Tidal Wave and the relevant data of the operation's outcome and casualties. A very interesting piece (for me) is the map with locations of the crashes, as well as some new bits of information on particular events, but the modellers will most likely be interested in the profiles, details and particular story of each airplane. And this the book has plenty of.

I was impressed by the high quality paper and print and it's good IMO that Romanian military history publications are moving forwards from this point of view.

All in all, a very interesting work, for both scale model and aviation history enthusiasts, dedicated to all participants to the epic raid. Too bad it is only a limited edition.

Thanks for the review.

Is the identity of the second and, perhaps, the third B-24 repaired and refit for flying status documented in photos and documents?

Finally, how can this book be purchased? I will be in Rumania next week and I would like to buy a copy.

Thanks for the info and your kind offer.
This time I will stay only 4 days, which I will spend in Tg.Mures and surroundings. However, I might stay more during late July, so then I might find time to go to Bucharest, too. I am not sure, though. We'll see.

Meanwhile Mr. Zincenco has answered me.

It seems there are still some problems, before the book will be 100% available for sale. Mr. Zincenco has just applied to be a member of this forum and he will give us shortly all details.

So please check soon this topic !!

Due to somebody enthusiasm there was some mistakes in the description of the way to purchase the book.
Please don’t send email to me regarding this book. Personal I‘m only an aviation history enthusiast that have sponsored this book. I’m not selling this book personally! The correct order address is secretariat@rhc.ro
In a week check the site www.tidalwave1943.ro to have a preview of the book – actual pictures of covers, some interior pages and folders. We register it and it’s under construction.
Today we are working (my colleagues) to setup the book distribution. It will take a few more day so please hold your horses smile.gif. As soon as we will finish this I’ll post again.
Regards
Andrei

Well, how I have already told you, I have send it round 12:00 AM but it's no problem.
I was just very eager to get the book and somehow suspicious that nobody will answer me ....

Congratulations for the future webpage www.tidalwave1943.ro !!
Excellent idea !
