8 August, I'm currently working on a new Luftwaffe Fighter Aircraft book, Profile Book No 13. Up to today I have manage to have made 130 new profiles for this book, fighters that would portray new stunning aircrafts that was flown by well known pilots as well as lesser known. Planned publishing date

8 May, as the Profile Book No 12 is finished, I went through the 130 profiles that should be included in this book, just for starting up this new project. More information would follow!

11 December, This week's most important work has been to decide which profiles should be included in profile book No. 13. Based on the 260 profiles I made for books 13 and 15, some relocations have been made, so that aircraft types, pilots and various units are now evenly distributed between the books. Unfortunately, I noticed that some duplicates and old fighters had crept in, which meant that I had five more profiles to do to reach the total of 260 profiles. One of the newly made profiles was the machine, an Fw 190 A-8 flown by Uffz. Ernst Schröder. In all Book No 13 would include: 21 Bf 109 Es, 29 Bf 109 Fs, 33 Bf 108 Gs, 5 Bf 109 Ks, 3 Me 163s, 4 Me 262s, one He 162, one Mc 205, 23 Fw 190 As, 8 Fw 190 Ds, one Ta 152 and finally one P-51 Mustang.

5 January 2023, finally I have strated to write the captions for this boo, starting with the Bf 109 E profiles. Hopefully this work would be finished by mid February. I wich you all a Happy New Year!

8 January, Finally I got going on the capptions for this book, check out one of the first, the one of Marseilles Bf 109 E-7 "Gelb 6".
