Seulement pour les connaisseurs 8) !
The announcement was made in the "juin-juillet 2003" issue of Air Magazine.

yes but the book is very expensive. So, for the "conaisseurs il faut mettre de l'argent du coté"

Hope that it will have some success.

Was this book already published? If yes, has anyone seen it?

Dear Denes, (j'ose vous appeller Denes)

Thank you, Bernard, for the update.
I already ordered the book from TMA last month, but have not heard anything back from the Publishers. As they don't appear to have a web site, I am lost at news.

P.S. Bien-sur que tu peut m'apelle Dénes. Nous avons des interest similaires. :wink:

Dear Denes,

The TMA editions have some problems with the time. Don't worry they will send you the book. I think that the problem comes from "l'imprimeur". I received the last number of Air Magazine some days before. Normaly it should appear beggining september. The only exception was the book about the Romanian aviation which was printed in Romania.

If you want i can call them.

Yours,
BM

PS Merci Denes pour votre bienveillance.

From sources near to TMA Editions, it seems that the book will be available only round May 2004 !

I placed my pre-order in Sept. 2003, but heard nothing back from the Publisher (they don't even appear to have a web-site)...

Yes indeed, they don't have a web site !
I have my information from the editor of AeroMagazin, the Romanian sister of Airmagazine :wink:

Max is right, in the "editorial" of the last number of airmag Mr fernandez is speaking about the book; it seems that it will appear during the first trimestre 2004. May be in may????

The only problem is that the edition of Air mag was robbed in august last year and since then they have allot of problems. There were distroyed only (!!!) the hard disks of the computers with plenty informations about aviation. In june and july Mr Fernandez argued with his ex-editors af Avions magasine. Some "editorials" were very harsh against Avions and... here comes the robbery. It's not impossible (after me) that it was an "réglement de comptes" ...

In case you want to contact Mr Fernandez do not hesitate to ask me.

Yours,
BM

I talked today with Mr Fernandez and he announced some bad news. It seems that the IAR book had to wait some more months... Probably it will appear in september this year.

Mr Fernandez is working to a new project similar to the "Batailles Aeriennes" trimestrial magazine. The first number will appear (normaly) in mai. and it is about the aerial struggle over Normandie in june 44.

yours,
BM

I saw today Mr Fernandez in his kit shop. I was very happy whenhe anounced that he and Amodel kit productor will do some new decals and planes with/in Romanian markings.

But, when i asked about the IAR book... well minimum it will appear in october... (a friend of him making the joke "what year???") So until then... keep smoking
