Number seven in their Airframe Detail series of books from Valiant Wings Publishing is on the Henschel Hs 123 and while it can be considered the "go-to" book for this aircraft, there are a few grammatical and syntax errors, more than I've seen in a Valiant Wings Publishing book to-date. However, don't let that stop you from picking up this superlative title as it covers the aircraft in enough detail that no other book is needed. The book is broken out thusly:
- Introduction
- Technical Description
- Camouflage & Markings
- Hansome Henschel: GasPatch 1/48 Hs 123
There are also four appendices:
- Hs 123 Kits
- Hs 123 Accessory & Mask List
- Hs 123 Decal List
- Bibliography
All-in-all more than enough for building any Hs 123 model and plenty to satisfy anyone curious about the history of the Hs 123. Plenty of thanks goes to Valiant Wings Publishing for providing the book for review.
