grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!slipped again
Tony Buttler has published new updated and extended editions of several of his Secret Project books in recent years, with a Volume number on the front cover.
Is there anything known about a possible new edition of his American Secret Projects: Fighters and Interceptors 1945-1978 book?
To that end, only yesterday I began assembling all of my materials to revise American Secret Projects: Jet Bombers, which I have to deliver at the end of January 2021.

The next new edition he's planning to do is American Secret Projects: Jet Bombers, possibly Fighters and Interceptors may follow.

The revised edition of American Secret Projects: Bombers, Attack, and Anti-Submarine Aircraft 1945-1974 is now available for purchase at the Crecy Publishing website. It'd be interesting to see when the revised edition of American Secret Projects: Fighters and Interceptors 1945-1978 appears on the Crecy Publishing website.Tony Buttler has published new updated and extended editions of several of his Secret Project books in recent years, with a Volume number on the front cover.

I simply cannot wait for this book, January is not too long to wait.
Hi Everyone. With the discussions about ASP this morning, thought I had better give you all an update.
ASP Bombers was submitted a couple of weeks ago. The update proved to be much bigger than expected and in the end I have exceeded both my word and illustration limits. I have even taken out some of the smaller ASW projects to help keep things under control and balanced. There are quite a few Martin drawings for example, courtesy of the Martin Museum, but once again so many folk have helped out here! I am very happy with the result - hope you will be too.
And I am thrilled with Dan's cover illustration showing the N-31.
A revision of ASP Fighters is also still planned. I may have said before that 'Early US Jet Fighters' has to be considered here, which was produced before we decided to revamp the Secret Projects series as a whole. At the moment I have nothing new for the period covered by Early US Jet Fighters, but a lot of new stuff for the 1950s. So I might start the second edition at 1950, but that has to be agreed with Crecy. There are a few fighter projects for WW2, but those may be able to go in a non-projects WW2 book I also have plans to do - we will see!
As ever, thanks for all of your support. Tony
