Reviews

"Canadian Aircraft of WWII is produced to a very high standard. It will be a source of information and inspiration to modellers and armchair historians alike, especially those with an interest in Canadian and Commonwealth aircraft."-Hyperscale

"This is the result of excellent research from enthusiasts and presented in a style which I think will interest historians, aircraft enthusiasts as well as being a useful reference for modellers, with inspiration for a number of different paint schemes."-Military Modelling.com

"Carl Vincent obviously wields a vast knowledge on this subject... fundamental information... balance this with rare photos and colorful anecdotes to make an approachable, inviting and compact format, interesting even for those who are not fanatically devoted to the topic. The eclectic spectrum of subjects is completely at author's discretion, with motivation for inclusion ranging from personal interest, historic importance, technical uniqueness, pilot association, to the something completely different... it feels almost as if someone is telling to the reader: 'now, look at this one for a moment; I find it quite interesting, how about you?'... Terry 'Aviaeology' Higgins is responsible for the eye-candy in the AviaDossier, providing us with beautiful color profiles of every type under consideration....These give the book a third dimension and elevate it to the shelf that gets frequent dustings. Not only is Terry's art inspiring and lovely to look at, but also very well researched, accurate in detail and color and can be therefore used as a true reference."-Aircraft Resource Center

"Vincent is an engaging writer and I was quickly drawn in by the events in his stories....As with Aviaeology's decal releases it is the inclusion of this detailed supplementary information that makes this book stand out, by indicating the breadth and depth of research that has gone into the publication....Production quality is high. Printing is crisp and the quality of photographic reproduction is good. The profiles are beautifully rendered... This book's combination of thorough research, interesting stories and great illustrations add up to another impressive release from Aviaeology."-Hyperscale
