Yankee
Air Pirates need your help!
Dear
readers,
It
has been almost four years since the first volume a
Yankee Air Pirates was published, on October 28, 2013.
It has been an incredible journey, that we tried to
depict in the early posts of our Yankee Air Pirates blog.
We could never have imagined that we would manage to
write books in English (not our mother tongue), and have
them published! The second volume was published on
November 28, 2015, and both books received very warm
reviews from our readers. We attempted to write the
books we wish we had when we started collecting USAF
memorabilia of the Vietnam War.
A
third volume has been written. We are still discussing
with Schiffer Books to get it printed. This last volume
is about Fighter units (mind blowing F-105 and F-4
stories), Reconnaissance, Advisory Teams to name a few.
AND FLIGHT GEAR! Helmets, Anti-G, oxygen masks,
parachutes, harnesses, survival vests, survival
equipment … Everything you wanted to know to complete
that F-4 or F-105 impression will appear in the third
volume.
However,
we are not sure if Schiffer wants it since they were
expecting higher sales on the first two volumes. Thus we
do need support from the collector’s community. If the
sales increase, we may have the opportunity to publish
the third volume. If not… It will take years for
someone else to gather the information and equipment and
the items presented (it took us about 25 years each). It
is probable that nothing else will be done in the future
on the topic and at that scale.
We
need your help to make this book series a success, and
to make it complete! If you already bought the books, a
review on Amazon would be very much appreciated as well.
You can also follow us on our blog
and/or facebook
page. There you will find articles about items that did
not make it in the books, and news about the book
series. Yankee
Air Pirates need your help!
