A new book in my library. (9 Viewers)

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.
 
Thanks!

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 :)

The railroad company that started my lifelong love for US railroads and for the price that I found it at, I'd even have sold Terry's moustache!

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
