The book “September 1939 over Poland Part II” from Kagero publishing offers 20 pages of side, top, and bottom profiles of aircraft in 29 color profiles, as well as 6 decal sheets for 1/48 and 1/72 scale subjects in 200mm x 180mm format. It also provides a free poster displaying a Polish light bomber PZL.23B Karaś in action. The poster fits inside the book and shows the booklet’s cover image without any inscriptions. The quality of the poster and the color profiles is great. The decal sheets provide a lot of options for both German and Polish aircraft from 1939.

There is a brief description of the book’s subject on page 3, stating that Kagero wanted to meet the expectations of international readers and presented the aircraft painting camouflage schemes of units that did not take part in combat missions over Poland but were stationed on Third Reich’s western borders. We can find the following Polish aircraft from 1939: PZL P.11c, PZL P.23B Karaś, and PZL. 37B Łoś in the book. The German side has profiles of the Heinkel He-111 and several Messerschmitt Bf-109E-1 airplanes. The color profiles are from four Polish artists and have very good quality. A few pages also include color samples in small circles for three Polish main colors: Khaki (light and dark) and Steel-gray, as well as three German primary colors of that time: RLM 70, RLM 71, and RLM 65. The inclusion of the six decal sheets should make this book quite attractive as both the aircraft enthusiasts and modelers interested in that period will have several choices to select from. It is always a pleasure for me to use publications like this one as a reference in my aircraft model building with additional brief history of the subject in question.

My sincere thanks go to KAGERO publishing for providing this book to review and IPMS USA for allowing me to review it.
