David Doyle Books News #48

We've Got a New Book Coming Out!

Dear Friends,

Denise and I pray that all of you are doing well.  

Here, things continue to improve – my ankle is improving, my infection has largely passed.  Locally, on 11 April they cased the colors at the Milan Army Ammunition Plant, ending an 84-year history.  I truly wish this decision was made because the world is a safer place, but  unfortunately I don’t believe that to be true.

In less serious news, we are excited to announce we have a new armor book coming out – which will be released at the AMPS convention in Camp Hill, PA (baring further Customs issues).

The 100-page book is about the M47 Medium Tank – a vehicle that was designed as a stop-gap measure, but which nevertheless served around the world for many decades.  Utilizing primary source documents, I was able to present the troubled development and production of this vehicle in greater depth than was previously possible - and illustrate it with over 150 photos, most of which are previously unpublished.
Since postage (and shipping materials) do cost money – we are offering two reservation options for this title.  Those desiring to save some bucks can pay cash and pick up at AMPS and for those not attending, we are offering our normal reservation process.  Please select the reservation channel that fits your needs.

Hint – we will be taking only a few extra copies to AMPS, so don’t just think “no need to reserve, I’ll just pick one up there” – there may not be one for you without a reservation!

In other armor news, you may have heard that Tamiya is releasing a M36 tank destroyer in 1/35 scale. To aid those who will be building this, we are offering an additional 10% off our M36 Images of War book through the end of the week (or while supplies last) – no discount code needed, discount will be applied automatically during checkout.

Late last week we received a number of new publications, so many we were not able to get a newsletter out (but we did notify the reservation holders - almost all of whose orders have now been shipped).

Here is what is new:

Modelling The US Navy Fighter and Attack Aircraft of WWII
FF/SF Goblin from Ginter Publishing
Warpaint 147 – the Nakajima Ki-43 Oscar
Scale Aircraft Modelling May 2025
Model Airplane International 235
AFV Modeller 142
Military Modelcraft Interatonal May 2025
Model Military International 227
Fantasy Figures International May/June 2025
Tamiya Model Magazine 352

In addition to the above new arrivals, we restocked on Warpaint books, Ginter books, and AFV Modeller and Air Modeller back issues. 

When placing your order we ask you to please to pay attention and be sure and enter your street number and street name on the same line - not doing so triggers an error message on our end and delays shipping your order.
We appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely,

David and Denise Doyle
