New Book: Curtiss P-40 in Brazil

Curtiss P-40 No Brasil
By Leandro Casella and Rudnei Dias Da Cunha

“Curtiss P-40 in Brazil” tells the history of this famed U.S. fighter in the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). Used between 1942 and 1954, the P-40 "Warhawk" was the first aircraft to serve in the FAB able to carry out fighter and air defense missions in Brazil during World War II. The P-40 was instrumental in establishing the structure of the FAB Fighter Aviation. At the end of the conflict, all P-40s were concentrated in Canoas, becoming synonymous with the 1st/14th Aviation Group - “Pampa Squadron”, the unit which had the privilege of using the Warhawks for a decade until their retirement, 60 years ago.

So how do you go about purchasing from the authors direct, is there a link/contact? as when I clicked on authors it just took me to sign in at G-mail. Other sites in Europe price the book at £35:00, which is pretty dear for 90 pages.

Anybody interested in writing a review for this book? Either a conventional review or a watercooler review would be useful. (Watercooler review is a short "review", basically two paragraphs that is less formal and more like if you were telling the reader about it at while taking a break at the watercooler.)

If someone wants to do either type I will find a place on the site for it. Thanks.
