Profile Publications concerning WW1 aircraft

[Volker_Nemsch]

Hello!

I recently bought some of the old "Profile Publications" - those little booklets with less than 20 pages.

Now I´m interested to acquire some more, because they seem to offer good informations for a reasonable price.

Here is my question: can someone provide me with a list or a link of all WW1 aircraft of the Profile Publication series?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thank you for your prompt help!

It seems that I´ll still have considerable gaps in my collection (exactly 19).

Among my books is one that is not in your list: No. 068 - The Thomas-Morse Scout.

Some of the books have a blue cover while the majority has dark-red ones. What does that mean?

The later ones have blue covers. I have them in a 13 Volume bound set. The last profile I have is number 260.

[Volker_Nemsch]

Are there probably some pre WW1 aircraft among these 260 booklets?

I´m thinking about Blériot monoplanes, various "Taube" types and other famous early aircraft - and there are booklets about early B.E.2's and Bristol Scouts available.

Breguet, are there some WW1 aircraft "agblume" and me had not on our list?

Hi all,
A recent Historic Aviation catalog includes a series of bound books covering WWI subjects from the old Profile Publications, and the cover art on the books appears to have been taken right from the Profiles themselves. Is this series of book simply a compilation of all of the previously printed WWI Profile Publications subjects?

The item #s at Historic Aviation are:
Volume 1 - #15337B
Volume 2 - #15338B
Volume 3 - #15140B
Volume 4 - #15150B

Historic Aviation - phone # - (800) 225-5575

They are listed at $29.95 each and have hard covers. Size is 6-3/4" x 9-3/4" and each has 176 pages. The books are titled " Classic WWI Aircraft Profiles."

Has anyone out there seen any of these?

I have part 1 and 2 ( 3 and 4 will be released later this year). I don't have any of the original profiles but these seem to be reprinted versions from what I can tell. The hardback style makes them look really nice. They are fairly basic in content and the profiles are okay(I like Harry Dempseys stuff in the Osprey books much better) but they are still neat little books to have in my collection.
best wishes, Scott

Volker,

Sorry for the delay. The only WWI singles I have are:

133 BE2, 2a & 2b
193 Bristol M1
200 Martinsyde Elephant

And only 193 is on your list. Strictly speaking only 133 is a duplicate, but I am willing to sell since at some point I intend to get the bound volume. PM me if you are interested.
