The excellent Putnam series

[simmie]

Hi there

Just a quick query that started to bug a minute ago.

How many Putnam books are there, specifically the individual company histories??

i have got a number and I was wondering which ones were still out there.

My list is as follows:-

British (2nd Ed)
English Electric
Supermarine
Vikers
Saunders Roe
Fairey
Hawkers
Gloster
Bristol
Boulton Paul
Armstrong Whitworth
Blackburn
Handley Page
Westland

I know that Miles and Airspeed were published as 1st Ed., were they re-done?

American
Lockheed
Boeing
Mcdonnoll Douglas Vol.1

Soviet/Russian
Yakolev
Tupolev

German
Junker

Any help would be much welcome.

Thanks for that jon

I was not aware of the North American/Rockwell volume.

I recently managed to get a hold of SAAB, These things are just hard to find, even on Ebay

Indeed, once you have them you tend to hold on to them. I certainly am.
