The resulting aircraft were nicknamed 'Toni' by their pilots.Content includes carrier Graf Zeppelin and her aircraft; operational service, including its new role over the North Sea and comes with free masking foil and decals.About the SeriesAir Battles is a series of books focusing on World War II air battles of specific aircraft and units.

Review

Although most the pictures are in black and white they give excellent guidance on weathering and battle damage. This is all a great help when finishing your models realistically. --Model Aviation World
