Les Avions Britanniques aux Couleurs Francaises - Jean-Jacques Petit - Avia Editions
Excellent book! There are many books coming out of France that are outstanding, and this is no exception. French text, but fully bi-lingual English & French captions for all photos and colour plates etc. Contains hundreds of photos of British machines in French colours, in chronological order! Mainly black & white photos but also includes 15 pages of colour photos and plates. This book was also previously released as a two-part soft cover.
Here's a review from aerostories
On several occasions , according to circumstances ( not always military ), France had reason to appeal to its neighbours across the Channel to supplement or enhance its air force . There are no less than 109 different types of British or Commonwealth aircraft which carried a French livery, both civilian and military, such as on the Boulton Paul Defiant delivered to the Air Force or Fairey Fulmar captured in Dakar. One could easily add the Percival EP -9 Prospector or three Miles M57 Aerovan civilians, among others ...
Of course , this book is not a mere collection of curiosities, but a serious attempt to be exhaustive. The chapters of the book are done in chronological order, from the Great War to the present day, and with a clear index.
For each type of airframe, you will find detailed explanations on the history and the reasons for its presence in French colours. For good measure, there are identification tables (based on available data) with registration , type, serial number and / or manufacturer number , and possibly assignment. No fewer than 570 photos, including many previously unpublished, and 15 pages of colour photos and plates.

OVERSEAS ITEMS WORTH LESS THAN €150 / £135
From 1 July 2021, the Brexit transition period ends. From this date forward, EVERYTHING sold to a country outside of the UK counts as an export, and as such could be subject to VAT/tax. EU member states require an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number, although this is optional. From 1 July, eBay should provide me with an IOSS number once you have completed checkout. I will then make sure this number is visible on your parcel. This is to tell the customs officials in your country that you have already paid the relevant taxes at point of purchase. The VAT rate for books and printed papers is 0% in the UK, but it may well be different for your country. The good news is that eBay have an entire team dedicated to working out the tax rates for you - these should be visible on your pre-order summary just before you complete checkout, and will be based on 1) the applicable VAT rate for the type of goods you have bought 2) the value of the goods. If you have won an item at open auction, then the final tax amount will not be visible until bidding ends. If you are purchasing a 'buy it now' item then the applicable tax should be visible before you complete checkout.This rule covers items less worth than €150 / £135, regardless of whether there is one item or multiple items in the order. For orders worth more than €150 / £135, please see below.
Some countries such as Australian (ABN numbers) and some US States have already implemented the collection of taxes at point of purchase, so customers in these countries will in most cases be familiar with the collection of tax when buying on eBay UK. If any additional codes are required for your parcels, then I am confident that eBay will provide me with them. I will then in due course make sure they are visible on any paperwork or address labels, to show you have already paid your tax.

SHIPPING:
OVERSEAS ORDER WORTH MORE THAN €150 / £135
If your order - whether an individual item or multiple items - is worth more than €150 / £135, then eBay will NOT provide me with an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number once you have completed checkout. Currently, such orders will be subject to tax/VAT (if required) only when they enter the destination country, at the discretion of the local tax authority and based on the tax rates for the kind of item(s) you have purchased. *Please note* that the parcel may also be subject to a release charge by the customs agency in your country. This is the system as it stands - in the future, there may become available a service whereby you can pay all charges up front, in which case I will update my listings.
