Summary: Well worth the wait
Comment: It's been several years in production but this latest publication from Flying Machine Press has been worth the wait.

Lavishly illustrated through out and containing authoritative text, this volume covers all of the aircraft produced by the Pfalz Company from just prior to 1914 through to the end of the First World War. Following the layout of earlier FMP books this publication is broken down in to three sections- the first section deals with each of the aircraft- with chapters looking at the early monoplanes such as the Parasol fighters, the famous Pfalz designed D.III and D.IIIa and going on to look at some of the forgotten types such as the D.IX, D.X and D.XI before finishing up with the Pfalz D.XII.

Part two of the book presents a series of wonderfully detailed drawings of the aircraft in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale. A real "must-have" for the scale modeller.

Part three looks at the colours and marking applied to these aircraft. Typically this is an area of some controversy but it is well dealt with in this publication by renowned authors on the subject. The chapter is then closed with a number of beautiful side and three-view colour illustrations of various Pfalz types resplendent in their unit and personal markings.

My only really minor comment is the lack of detail photos - but this is an area already well covered by the various Albatros publications on the same and similar subjects.

Overall, this book should find favour with aviation enthusiasts and scale modellers alike.
