Herris does his usual excellent best in a book that is beautifully designed and ... If you know enough about WW1 aviation to recognize the name "Aviatik", you may be thinking (I was) about the Aviatik-Berg fighters of the Austro-Hungarians, rather than the German Aviatik 2 seaters. This book is the less-known and seldom modeled German Aviatik 2-seaters plus assorted Aviatik projects. Mr. Herris does his usual excellent best in a book that is beautifully designed and authoritatively written. But this book lacks the wider appeal of his other recent volumes, simply because the subject matter is more obscure. If you want to have everything written in English about WW1 German aviation, you need this book. An excellent book for its purpose. This is an excellent book geared more toward the modeler or those with a general enthusiasm for World War 1 aviation. I am both and thus am very pleased. If you need information for a different purpose, you might not like it as much as I did. I wish it was hard back. The book provides an inventory of aircraft at the front by year, a table with the C-Type specification and production orders with serial numbers. The book covers the Aviatik B and C type observation and the D type fighters. The photos, color illustrations, and captions are excellent. 1 48 scale lines drawings are provided for many of same. 90 pages. Five Stars Good book with lot of pictures.

Jack Herris has a long history with aviation. His parents started dating while car-pooling together to North American Aviation during WW2. Jack's father built P-51s, including parts for the first P-51 Mustang ever built, and his mother built B-25s. In 1971 Jack graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics. He then served as a Naval Aviator, flying P-3B Orion aircraft with VP-46. After leaving the navy he worked in the Laser Fusion Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, then worked in the high tech industry in Silicon Valley. He holds CFI, CFI-I, CFI-ME, ATP, and Learjet type ratings. Jack is a long-time member of the League of WWI Aviation Historians, and before that the Cross & Cockade Society, and has written more than a dozen articles on WWI aircraft published in their quarterly journal, Over the Front and has edited several issues of that journal. He brings insight into these aircraft both from his engineering and military pilot experience. In 1992 he founded Flying Machines Press to publish aviation history books and after publishing a number of titles, sold Flying Machines Press in 2000. He became a repeat offender by starting Aeronaut Books, which published its first two new aviation books in November 2010. For more information, see the website at .
