Three new books coming from HMH Publications

[Nic C.D.]

Happy to announce two new books in our Duke Hawkins series and one limited edition hardcover book. Just 6 year after we started this adventure (we're still just two guys that enjoy making books after hours); we're already at 37 books published!

 

The first new book is a 180 page book on the A-10 A/C Thunderbolt II. It is filled to the rim with photos, showing every detail of the A-10: fuselage, wings, landing gear, bays, engines, cockpit, well everything. The book also includes a 22-page maintenance chapter and a lot of impressive action photos! Peter Anthoni, a friend of mine, took the trip to Davis-Monthan AFB to get every last detail of the jet. This book was supposed to be just 116 pages, but this adventure turned into 180 pages! Useful for detailing those 1/32 scale Trumpeter kits! Or the Academy 1/48 scale kits, which are pretty impressive. This our 30th in the series ! Here's the cover:

 

 

 

The second new book is a 116 page book on the Saab 35 Draken. I've always liked this iconic jet with its fantastic wing profile and wanted to do a book about it. I've still got some 1/48 scale Hasegawa kits around, which were a good guide to see where details could be added, so this focussed our attention for photos. This book is filled with photos from the Drakens of the Swedish Air Force Historic Flight and Danish Team Karup for the details, but also with action photos of when the jet was still operational in Sweden, Denmark, Austria and Finland. Every detail is included and the cockpit chapter is extensive with photos of operational and restored aircraft, both single and two-seat versions. It is the 31st book in the series.

 

 

The third book is a special one: this is our first hardcover book and is a little bigger than usual. This is a limited edition book of 172 pages, written by Michael Stephan and is called "Eagles Rock". It bring the story of the F-15 (C and E) with the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath. Included in this book are the history of the 48th Fighter Wing and RAF Lakenheath, but most of all a large presentation of the squadrons flying the Eagles and Strike Eagles: the 492nd FS Madhatters, 493rd FS Grim Reapers, 494th FS Panthers. There's also a chapter on the 56th and 57th Rescue Squadron at the base, before they moved to Aviano AFB in Italy. There are interviews with all the commanders in it, over 200 fantastic photos and the introduction was written by Lt. Gen. Glen W. Moorhead III. Here's the cover of the book and a few samples:
