Good stuff guys. Jan, I may be bugging you for some pics when I build my USS Princeton.

Don't know if these will help, especially the escort carrier books, since USS Princeton is a light carrier, CVL-23 was it?
Found a book about the CVL's by Andrew Faltum, called; The Independence Light Aircraft Carriers, but it hasn't got a good review as it seems, even though it's a book about the CVL's, he seem to concentrate more on the Essex class carriers in the Pacific, maybe if someone has the book....I'll keep looking though, there must be something for those CVL's, right?
 
Good stuff chaps.
Paul, whats the 4th FG book like? I tried getting the 'Debden Eagles' book about the 4th, to accompany my 'Eagles of Duxford' (78th FG), but it would have cost an arm, two legs, and 200lbs of bacon !!

Thanks guys

Terry its a typical squadron signal book, lots of info and pictures and wishing it was thicker as you know there is more info out there but for the price you can't complain. After shipping and handling I think I paid $9.00 for it so it was a good deal

This one showed up today.

Thanks Paul. For that price (less than £5) you can't lose. If you can find 'Debden Eagles', at a reasonable price, by Garry Fry, published in 1970, get it. It's hard back, about 150 illustrated pages if my memory is right, and very good. It was revised, updated and re-released in 1980, in co-production with Jeff Ethell, as 'Escort to Berlin', although I'm not sure of the format or revised content of that re-issue.
 

Thanks Wayne,

Terry,

I have these two. The Escort to Berlin is really good so will have to see about the Debden Eagles. You may find the other one in the picture interesting

I have been dealing with an abscessed tooth and as a result I have been having to take sleeping meds. This showed up today which I apparently ordered (at least according to Amazon). I have no idea if somebody here had it or if I had seen it somewhere. At least it looks interesting.

 

Excellent book - with a great chapter on the demise of the actor Leslie Howard,
 
Waiting on the mail for all of these

The Japanese Army one was delayed and still waiting on it
