Nighthawk Publishing
Nighthawk Publishing is introducing innovative methods to bring readers accurate, current information fast.
Traditional publishing methods have meant that titles take several years from when the author thought of the subject to the finished book being available in the book shops. That is frustrating for authors and it means that readers do not gain access to information until it is obsolete if the title covers a dynamic subject. Many potential authors are never published because they become so frustrated by the effort required to find a publisher and bring a book to market. That means that valuable insights into many subjects are lost for all time.

 | Hurricane Ace Josef Frantisek, The True Story |
 All of his success was achieved in a period of little more than month. He was a star in a star squadron, Polish 303 Squadron. With 17 confirmed victories, he was the Squadron's top scorer. In perspective, the RAF top scorer of the War achieved 33 confirmed victories over the full period of the War. There are claims that Josef had already achieved 11 kills before joining the RAF but the confusion of the battles he took part in before escaping to Britain make it difficult to confirm or reject those claims.

| Brief Glory, The Life of Arthur Rhys Davids DSO MC |
|
The author has captured the life and times of Rhys Davids very well and this book is a fitting tribute not just to one pilot of the Great War, but to a generation of young men. Their untimely passing was to have a lasting effect on their countries.

| Henschel Hs 129 |
|
The Luftwaffe had taken an early interest in ground attack aircraft, producing the first armoured ground attack plane during the 1914-1918 War. The Ju 87 was developed in the enthusiasm of the 1930s for dive bombers and its primary purpose was close support for Panzer formations advancing more rapidly then artillery.
This is another great value book from MMP in their Orange Series. The production follows their high standards for images, both photographs and drawings, including some excellent colour drawings.
