This thread title caught my eye - I've just started writing a piece on a Romanian AF Ju 88 A-4 bomber unit Grupul 6 - they flew from Ukrainian territory from mid-July 1943...
I try not to go here too often..
but I really wanted the new JG 77 title from Aerojournal - they didn't have it in stock yet so
got it from the publisher's website..http://www.caraktere.com
I did go home with volume 6 of Mombeeck's JG 2 history and a few other nice looking books..
I didn't know he had a two volume e-book series. Of course he did this big 430-page A-4 hardback..... but for French publisher Lela Presse. Fabulous book!
..another German book, well worth getting. "Me 109 - Produktion und Einsatz" by Peter Schmoll
A quick review and video presentation

... the major point to note about French collaboration ( eg over 500 Caudron Goelands delivered) is that German industry was free to turn out thousands of fighters... and not worry about 'minor' types.
.. Hartmann's Kommandeur machine has a 'grey' spider's web overspray that everyone seems to miss...pic at link below

..novel sounds like something John Clive might have concocted. He authored the KG 200 novel. But it wasn't. He also wrote 'The Last Liberator' - a captured B-24 flown out of Berlin with Bormann on board
there are certainly one or two 'early' titles in the 'Aces' series that could usefully be 're-done' ....personally I'd be more interested in finding out what the sales figures were/are and why some titles are written and others never appear. I once asked French author editor/publisher CJ...
..ever read Bob Goebel's memoir 'Mustang Ace' ? All American fighter pilots could probably fly pretty well, this was certainly true for all P-51 pilots. Only relatively few fighter pilots could shoot as well as they could fly. I guess that's what you meant....
..admin getting a little heavy handed. We authors work hard to get our work out there - and you go and remove the links which some people might find very useful. Its not like we're spamming unrelated stuff. Don't worry, you won't get anymore heads-up exclusive stuff from me.
