Cessna Warbirds Heading for Publishing Oblivion
Publisher offers 60% price reduction and free shipping on individually autographed copies of book hailed by U. S. Air Force's own Airpower Journal as "a true military aviation enthusiast's delight."
Lake Linden, MI (PRWEB) October 16, 2006 -– For almost 11 years, Walt Shiel's Cessna Warbirds: A Detailed and Personal History of Cessna's Involvement in the Armed Forces has been recognized as the go-to document for production history, design evolution, performance data, and true stories (from war and peace) of Cessna Aircraft Company's more than 12,000 military aircraft that have served from World War II to the present. The U.S. Air Force's own Airpower Journal hailed it as “a true military aviation enthusiast's delight” and noted that it “should appeal to military pilots, historians, and model builders.”
However, once the remaining copies are sold, the current publisher, Slipdown Mountain Publications LLC, formally will declare the book out-of-print with no plans to republish the book described by both Flight and Flightpath magazines as the “definitive work” on military Cessna aircraft. Despite continued interest in and sales of Cessna Warbirds, the publisher is making room in its production stable for other military aviation history books.
The publisher urges interested readers, historians, modelers, and warbird rebuilders to act quickly to acquire copies for their reference libraries. Until all copies are sold, Slipdown Mountain Publications' sale price will be $12.00 (a 60% discount off list). Buyers purchasing the book from the official website – http://www.CessnaWarbirds.com – will receive free shipping, with all books individually autographed.
Author Walt Shiel has far more than literary and academic interest in military Cessnas, having logged 1,800 flying hours in three different models of Cessna aircraft while a pilot in the U.S. Air Force. He has also written for many aviation magazines in the U.S., the UK, and Australia, including Air & Space/Smithsonian. Shiel currently writes the “Cessna Warbirds” column for the Cessna Flyer (official publication of the Cessna Flyer Association). He is also the publisher for Slipdown Mountain Publications and has written an historical novel (Devil in the North Woods) and a short story collection (Pilots and Normal People).
Based in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Slipdown Mountain Publications LLC publishes fine art prints, military flight manuals, novels, and nonfiction books on military aviation history, the paranormal and cryptozoology. The company publishes two or three new books each year. Books may be purchased via the company’s website (http://www.SlipdownMountain.com) or by phoning 906-523-4118 (or 866-341-3705 toll-free).
