I am pleased to announce that our fantastic new book on German aircraft in Italian service from 1911-1945 ‘German Wings in Italian Skies’, authored by Italian aviation expert, photographer and avid photo-collector Luigino Caliaro, is now available to pre-order. Luigino will already be familiar to aviation fans having recently published highly acclaimed books in English on the Savoia-Marchetti S.79 Sparviero, and on Macchi Fighters, for Crecy Publishing.
‘German Wings in Italian Skies’ recounts the story of German aircraft in Italy, from the Etrich ‘Taube’ monoplane onwards, but the real core of the book focuses on the Luftwaffe types delivered to the Regia Aeronautica, and the ANR, such as the Ju-87, Bf 109, Bf 110, Do 217 night fighter, Fi 156 and Ju 88. The highly detailed text is accompanied by a superb selection of over 600 very rare images, most of which have never been seen or published before, and specially commissioned colour profiles by acclaimed digital artist Janusz Światłoń. There are fascinating appendices on such diverse topics as German gliders in Italian service, trials for the Italian aircraft carrier Aquila(including Italian examination of using the Flettner Fl 282 \'Kolibri\'), and the rarely-known story of the Italian pilots who went to Germany to train to fly the Me 163 Komet.

The advantages of buying the book on are outlined below.

Since the publication of our last book, things have changed. From 1 July 2021, the Brexit transition period ended and the United Kingdom has left the European Union. From this date forward, EVERYTHING sold to a country outside of the UK counts as an export, and as such could be subject to tax.

EU member states require an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number on parcels sent from the UK, although this is optional. From 1 July 2021, UK for example has been providing an IOSS number for customers in EU countries once checkout is completed. If you purchase the book on , I will make sure this number is visible on your parcel to tell the customs officials in your country that you have already paid the relevant taxes at point of purchase. The VAT rate for books and printed papers is 0% in the UK, but it may well be different for your country. The good news is that have an entire team dedicated to working out the tax rates for you – these should be visible on your pre-order summary just before you complete checkout, and will be based on 1) the applicable VAT rate for the type of goods you have bought 2) the value of the goods. If you are purchasing a ‘buy it now’ item then the applicable tax should be visible before you complete checkout.This rule covers items worth less than €150 / £135, regardless of whether there is one item or multiple items in the order. For orders worth more than €150 / £135, please see below. Some countries such as Australia (ABN numbers) and some US States have already implemented the collection of taxes at point of purchase, so if you are in these countries you will in many cases be familiar with the collection of tax when buying on UK. If any additional codes are required for your parcels, then I am confident that will provide me with them. I will then in due course make sure they are visible on any paperwork or address labels, to show you have already paid your tax.

If your order – whether an individual item or multiple items – is worth more than €150 / £135, then will NOT provide me with an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number once you have completed checkout. Currently, such orders will be subject to tax/VAT (if required) only when they enter the destination country, at the discretion of the local tax authority and based on the tax rates for the kind of item(s) you have purchased. *Please note* that the parcel may also be subject to a release charge by the customs agency in your country. This is the system as it stands – in the future, there may become available a service whereby you can pay all charges up front, in which case I will advise you and update my website information.

If you still wish to purchase from me now, directly, then please note that the postage rate provided is for one book. If you wish to make multiple purchases then please let me know.
