YES!
This is exactly the type of announcment that belongs in the Film and Lit Section of this site!!! I hope more authors post this sort of information as to release dates for their titles. Also it would be nice for a little paragraph description of the book. I look forward to hearing more on this title.

Thanks for the advice, I'll post it to Film and Lit.
A more detailed description should be up on Emmanuel Gustin's site in due course. However, it starts with a chapter on the technical background, describing the different guns and their mechanisms, the ammunition they fired, the mountings used, synchronisation and sights. Then there are chapters on the development of armament before, during and after WW1 (up to 1932), describing the principal aircraft installations and how the weapons were used in combat in major campaigns etc. There's a separate chapter on the development and use of airborne cannon (20+mm) and their ammunition. Finally there are appendices providing data tables of aircraft with their gun installations; guns; and ammunition, plus comparative gun drawings. Tony Williams

Excellent!
Received this e-mail confirmation, but publication delay notice from Crowood Press: Thank you for your order for FLYING GUNS WW1 - this title is running late unfortunately. UK Publication date will now be January 2004 and copies will not be available for resale until January 2004. Looks like Q1 2004.

I just found out about the publishing delay this morning
 Unfortunately the gun drawings are merely side views, to approximate scale (some had to be drawn from photographs so aren't precise). Tony Williams: Military gun and ammunition website and discussion forum
