Release in February 2025! (Date and coverage not contractual)
We are postponing the release date because we have decided to completely revise this book. Indeed, the text needs to be corrected, the information needs to be updated, some new photos will be added and the color profiles will be new and more numerous and finally, all the plans will be revised and captioned. The layout will be updated. Thank you for your patience.
The Latécoère 298 is certainly one of the best-known aircraft among those used by our sailor aviators, but paradoxically, it is also one of those whose history has never really been told in detail. If in the past the emphasis has often been placed, quite rightly, on the last-chance actions carried out by the crews of the torpedo squadrons in the north of France in May and June 1940, little has been written on the ten years that followed these dramatic events. Ten years during which the Laté continued to serve faithfully, often in obscure roles, before disappearing definitively from the workforce of the Naval Aviation.
First published in 2000, this new edition produced in 2024 has been corrected and improved, with more precise notices, 754 superb photos, numerous plans and 26 color profiles by Éric Schwartz. A4 format, hard cover, 240 pages. Limited edition, don't delay!
