A new book in my library.

It's coming from a Dutch scholar, with emphasis on the Dutch POV of the campaign. Came highly recommended. I'm trying to broaden my library to include voices other than American during that time.

I'll second my support for anything written by Peter Boer. He's one of the best historians for Dutch military (esp aviation) during WWII - I've been exchanging notes with him for a number of years now and you'd be hard pressed to find a more thorough researcher. He's also a really nice bloke...a true Gentleman!

Got the this book recently. Picked up the Kindle edition for our I-Pad.

[Micdrow]

Nice one's Wayne. The Bf-109 has my attention

Picked these up today at a half price book store. Looked interesting but I know next to nothing about either one.

Good hauls chaps.
Paul, 'The Forgotten Few' is an excellent book, and pulls no punches regarding the way the Poles were treated by Britain and her allies at the end of the war, just to 'keep sweet' with Stalin. A good partner to the book is 'For your freedom and ours', concentrating on the Kosciusko squadron, by Lynne Olson and Stanley Cloud, and well worth reading - and remembering.

Thanks Terry, Will have to add it to my wish list then. Its early yet but starting a wish list for the EAA this year as some books on Amazon are just way overboard and well I know I can get them at least regular price there.

 

[Airframes]

Yes, I know what you mean. I saw a couple of books on Amazon recently, which I nearly bought, but fortunately found them much cheaper elsewhere. I've just ordered 'The Fighting Cocks', the history of 43 Squadron, RAF, direct from Pen and Sword, as they have a sale on at the moment . Normal retail price is £25, got it for £12.50 !!
It's worth having a look at their web-site, as there's some good stuff at reduced prices.

Very nice fellas! Paul, does the Vichy one go into any detail with the French-Siam war?

The one I've been waiting for since April last year FINALLY arrived (with a few others):

Book 3 of Fw 190 is awesome! Some of the weapons used on it I'd never heard.

 

[Micdrow]

Nice ones there David,

I didn't not see any reference to it. Here is a picture of the subjects covered. Let me know if you can't read it and I will see about making a scan tomorrow.

Good stuff fellas, glad your fw190 book finally arrived David....

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Nice David. Your gonna like the 190 book. I haven't put it down yet.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Thanks fellas! You are right Aaron, I really like this one more than the other 2. The whole Luftwaffe Classics series is just awesome!

 

[Wayne Little]
