Great scores guys!
I got mine through a store chain that's in my area.
Half Price Books, Records, Magazines, Inc.
So the book series above is not great quality pictures. Its more like a collection of articles, newspapers and magazines during WWII. Lots of info you normally would not find in a book on WWII. Really quiet fascinating really for the price. I got almost all of mine for around 5 dollars a piece.

Normally I don't get really excited about a book but was just able to order this one and can't wait to see it. I have seen parts of this one in the past. I also has detail layouts of turrets for aircraft and covers a ton of weapons from WWI till the 1950's

Cool stuff!
"Down But Not Out" by Maurice Mayne,Mark Ryan.
Maurice 'Moggy' Mayne was a cricket-loving air gunner in the Second World War, with a pretty girlfriend back home in rural England. His turret was in a Bristol Beaufort and his pilot had to fly with almost suicidal bravery at giant German warships before releasing the torpedo. No wonder Moggy's first pilot cracked up and his second liked to drink. When he was shot down, Moggy miraculously survived – unlike his best friend Stan. Moggy was sent to Stalag Luft VIIIB, an infamous German POW camp near the Polish border, where he was badly treated. Fearing losing his beloved girlfriend Sylvia forever, and risking recapture and execution, he saw the chance to escape alone, thus beginning an epic journey through Nazi-occupied Germany. As the Gestapo shot other escaped British servicemen, Moggy Mayne came agonisingly close to lasting freedom. Instead, as the war neared its end, he had to face the horrors of the 'long march' west – and he felt his life slipping away. Would he ever see his Sylvia again?
