A new book in my library.

Jim, the book is more a collection of anecdotal accounts, plus some chapters on development and operational use etc. The photo content, although by no means sparse, is less than I'd anticipated (in a 220 page book) from the advertising 'write up', and the quality of reproduction, in some, is rather 'thin' - a fault of the printing process and reproduction, not of the original photos - with the majority appearing to be personal 'snap shots' of the period, showing crews and individuals.
However, a (very) brief 'flip through' the chapters hints that the content might make interesting reading, especially as the Stirling has little coverage elsewhere.
Being by the same author as 'Stirling at War', I had presumed, wrongly, that there would have been more photo coverage of the aircraft itself, but in brand new condition, and at the price I paid for the book, I can't complain.

You know you have a problem when something like this shows up at your door and you forgot you ordered it!

Looks like another year when the aviation book dealers across the World will be doing well, courtesy of forum members !
 
And then you won't have time to read - you'll be too busy enjoying yourself, getting out and about, seeing places, visiting museums, air shows - and ignoring the garden !

Maybe Terry but who knows, I really am putting my collection together as a retirement project. Been collecting for roughly 30 years now and still enjoy reading. Hopefully it hangs on :)
 
Still think they would look better on MY bookshelf, but whatever...hrumph!

Those 2 volume JG 300 books...is that the Me 163 group?

Wayne's right Jim, here is a picture of the covers of the two books. This group flew Bf-109's and Fw-190's
