Book; German Aircraft Props of WW1; Part One

[Bob Gardner]

A note to let fellow forumites know that I have just published Part One of my series on WW1 German prop makers. It covers makers from Adastra to Germania

It can be ordered direct from my website;
http://www.aeroclocks.com/

It consists of 207 pages and 292 illustrations.

We have produced it with softback covers to reduce the cost.

The introduction to the German Propeller Industry, published six months ago, is also available on my website.

With kind regards,

Bob

Morning Ryszard!

Does your surname, Wrobel, translate into English as Sparrow?

With kind regards, and thanks for ordering the book, to which you have contributed much.

Yes! You are right. I'm a very popular bird.

Just ordered my copy.
Don't forget those are one of the only available detailed books and
gideline of German propellers available at this time. Well detailed
and reference for all German propeller owners and collectioners.
Thanks to Bob to put all his efforts and energy to deliver those fantastic
serie of books available to us.
Enjoy
