A short post today as I slip ever more deeply into this obscure conflict. Here are some titles that cover the aircraft and the air campaign as a whole.
Miroslav Bily and Jiří Vraný - Avia B-534: Czechoslovak Fighter. MBI Publishing, 2008. This title only covers the third and fourth versions of the B.534, with more pages than the Vraný title below. However, it is difficult to locate and I have not seen a copy to examine its worth.
Gianni Cattaneo - Aircraft Profile No. 22: The Fiat CR. 32. Profile Publications, 1965. This series, while long out of print, is still usually available. Just a handful of pages, with some color profiles and black and white photos.
Josef Krybus - Aircraft Profile No. 152: The Avia B.534. Profile Publications, 1967.
George Punka - Fiat CR 32/CR 42 in Action. Squadron/Signal Publications, 2000. A typical Squadron offering with plenty of technical details, photographs, and color profiles.
Csaba B. Stenge - Baptism of Fire: The First Combat Experiences of the Royal Hungarian Air Force and Slovak Air Force, March 1939. Helion Publications, 2014. If you want just want one title, this is it. The comprehensive coverage of the conflict, illustrated with color aircraft profiles representing the aircraft used by both sides, along with black and white photographs. Helion titles are not inexpensive, so try to find a discount code or an aftermarket shop to pick up your copy.
Jiří Vraný - Avia B-534. MBI Publishing, 1994. This title is in both Czech and English and is a fairly deep dive into the development and the technical aspects of the four versions of the B.534. Numerous pictures, line drawings, and color profiles accompany the text.
Jiří Vraný - Letov S-328 Volume 2 - the Luftwaffe, Slovak Air Force, Bulgarian Air Force, and Slovak National Uprising. Jakab, 2005.
