Vintage Warbirds Series 1-10 (Rimell, Bruce, Imrie)

I have been researching this great book series and I have identified 10 books in this series. Where there ten and no more? Are they available (reprints)?

Here is what I have found:
Number – Author – Title – ISBN – Pages - Year

No. 1- Rimell - The Royal Flying Corps in World War One
No. 2 - Rimell - German Army Air Service – 0853686947 – 64 – 1987(2nd)
No. 3 - Rimell – RAF between the wars - 1985
No. 4 – Bruce - The Bristol Fighter
No. 5 - Bruce - The Sopwith Fighters
No. 6 - Imrie - Fokker Fighters
No. 7 – Rimell- Air War Over Great Britain
No. 8 – Imrie - German Air Aces of WWI
No. 9 – Rimell -World War One in the Air - 1988
No. 10 - Bruce - Nieuport Aircraft of WWI
Thanks for any help,
Jan

Jan,

all my information points to there being 10 books in the series.

You might like the Vintage Aviation Fotofax series in the same format from the same publisher:

German Naval Air Service
Sopwith Camel
Fleet Air Arm
German Bombers of WW1

The Sopwith Camel was written by Jack Bruce so you can't go wrong there!

Jan,

I too believe there were only ten in this fine series. Along with Mike, I would also recommend that you try to find the Vintage Aviation Fotofax series. The volumes on The German Naval Air Service and German Bombers of WWI were written by Alex Imrie, and you can't go wrong there either!!
None of these books are in print, but you shouldn't have too much trouble finding them through aviation used book dealers, etc.

Here is a site I use all the time for out of print books:

http://used.addall.com/

I bought both the German Vintage Aviation Fotofax books and they are definitely worth getting - some excellent photos.
