[WWI] Re: Opinions on Osprey Books

[Old Fokker]

Thanks to all who provided their insight on these books.  That's the problem 
I've been running into on the Phonix D.I -- not too much readily available 
on markings.  Most of the schemes I've seen are either the naval 
red/white/red winged aircraft (the old Aircraft in Profile) or the one with 
a skull and crossbones on it.  I'd really like to find something different 
if possible; but maybe there isn't much surviving documentation.

This is the one thing I like about going to the bookstore.  You can page 
through a book, and either buy it there or order it from another dealer.  At 
least you aren't buying it blind.  The problem is, the stores in my area 
don't stock a lot on WWI aircraft.

Think I'll forget about the A-H book, but will give some more thought to the 
American Aces one.  Have to look for the Datafile as well.
