Title: windsock camel squadrons
Post by: phil2015 on October 28, 2022, 04:25:39 AM

I'm about to stock up on some windsock books and am wondering about the book on camel squadrons.  I already have Les Rogers book on British Aviation squadron markings of WW1.  Does anyone have both already and is there a lot of overlap or will i find a lot of new material in the camel squadrons book?  I'm rather more interested in photos than profiles but any info on either would be welcome.  Thanks!

Not receiving any feedback here, I went ahead and bought it.

There is a lot of duplication of photos, which is not a surprise.  There are a couple of squadrons where there are more in the windsock book, but not many.  In the windsock book, there are a lot of profiles which I always welcome.

Am I glad I bought it?  If someone is picking between it vs the British Aviation squadrons book, I would probably recommend the latter, just because the latter covers a lot of other squadrons and has some more elaborated text about markings in different timeframes.  But if someone is just interested in camels, this is *very* nice.  I'm not unhappy that I bought it and I'm sure I will get a lot out of the profiles.
