I've scanned the announcements and news and not found anything indicating that I can't recommend a novel written by my dad in this section, so I'm going to, because it's right in this wheelhouse. If this is against the rules, I apologize and feel free to delete it. (And yes, there's now a movie...

I don't know for sure if the info is there. The author, Joey Maddox, later wrote another book, "The Great Rat Race for Europe", in which he mentions the...
Boy, I sure wish that I had found this forum when I was doing research on my book! :oops: Nevertheless, I'm sure it will be a great help with the next one. I'm looking forward to learning more about German heavy lift bombers from you guys. :) Can one of the admins please contact me about...
