Question ID: 288137
I am looking for the following books to buy only: (all of them were
published in English).

"Main Battle Tanks: Development in Design since 1945" (1987) by Rolf Hilmes.

"Technology of Tanks" by Richard Ogorkiewicz.
Coulsdon, Surrey (UK?): Jane's Information Group, 1991.

"G-Suit: Combat Reports from Israel's Air War" by Merav Halperin &
Aharon Lapidot.  Sphere Books, 1990.

"MiG Dynasty" by D.Oliver

Request for Question Clarification by scriptor-ga on 17 Dec 2003 16:39 PST
Dear leonid52,

Despite extensive research, I was only able to locate copies of "Main
Battle Tanks" and "MiG Dynasty". I did not find Ogorkiewicz' book to
be available anywhere, and it proved also impossible to locate the
English version of "G-Suit".
Provided that none of my colleagues finds those two books, would you
like me to post the sources for "Main Battle Tanks" and "MiG Dynasty"
as an answer?

Best regards,
Scriptor

Yes, go ahead! But if you found "G-Suit" in another language,
including Hebrew, I'd like to know it.
