Comments:	With the release from HK Models of their Gloster Meteor FMk.4 kit in 1/32 scale, this book got new life in my collection. It covers the development and use by the Argentine Air Force of this nice plane, the first jet fighter of a south american country. HK Models released their kit with decals for the Fuerza Aérea Argentina, so you will get markings for some colorful planes as you can see from the picture bellow. The book brings to you 16 color profiles and several pictures in color and black and white. It has a similar format to Squadron Signal´s "in action" series of books. I got mine in a book store in Buenos Aires, but you can try to get it online visiting the site www.fuerzasnavales.com or perhaps by the e-mail jfnpadin@yahoo.com.

Books Review vol.2: WWII U.S. Sherman tank in action

Subject: WWII U.S. Sherman tank in action
Publisher: Squadron Signal Publications
Price: R$49,00 (US$30,00)
Comments: I´ve allways had problems trying to identify the many M4 Sherman variations and never found a clear description of the production of these tank. Now Squadron Signal Publications released a nice book that places the many variants of the Sherman in a clear sequence with lots of photos, some in color, and good diagrams. For me, one of their best volume in the armor subject.

Books review vol.1: Brazilian Expediotionary Force in World War II

Subject: Brazilian Expediotionary Force in World War II
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Price: R$41,00 (US$25.50)
Sumary: 48 pages, 8 in color, black and white photos, text in english
Comments: Just got this book at Cultura Book Shop in Brazil. It´s a very interesting publication by osprey, telling the story of the only south american country to fight in World War II. There is a description of the military organization of the brazilian army during World War II and the campaigns that these forces participated. Also you will find detailed description of the equipment, uniforms and insignias used by the brazilian soldiers during the conflict. For me, this will be very welcome as there is enought information to build at least one military figure representing these soldiers.
