I have those four books in Ebook format, the pictures are second to none but the only drawback for me is the Polish text....fantastic books though.

I remember this book...it was insanely pricey.

I'm curious - did they add any schematics to the second edition?
Line drawings mostly in 1:35 and 1:48 scale but there was a separate detached sheet with them all on as well as 8 double-sided Kriegsmarine type maps folding out to 50cmx70cm showing the locations of each sunken allied warship and aircraft, the location of each Operation Deadlight victim, each U-boat sinking and a graph/tabular sheet showing U-boat production levels and comparisons with losses on a month by month basis.

Another big plus was the multitude of first class photographs (as in the four previous books) and the artwork examples of the colour schemes used by the U-boats and midget classes...not to mention the text is in English.

All in all, a pricey volume but quality doesn't come cheap.
