Picked these two up at the half price book store, something a little different. The small book is on the 801st Bomb group Volume II: The French Connection, April-June 1944 on night operations dropping supplies and agents to the resistance forces in Europe in preparation for D-Day. I may have to see if I can find Volume I now LOL.
Just received this book today and though I am only part of the way through it I already think it is superior to Wolf's book on just the B-18. The Hagedorn's have apparently done some extensive digging in the Boeing archives (where the Douglas archives are after the take-over I assume) and pulled out some real cherries. As I said I am only part way in and already a couple of myths have been busted AND we get to see the 75mm cannon armed 18 flying and firing in movie stills. This book is a keeper and @ $30.27 USD from Book depository it's not too expensive either.
Thanks Wayne. My one complaint, if I were to have one, is that there are a lot of undersized photos. Normally not a problem, but with the captions calling out details in them it becomes one. Still a great book though.
