Picked this up on Ebay. It's in French, but is thick and has a butt load of pictures of not only the Leo and Amiot, but a bunch of French bombers from the 40's...and let's face it, pictures like that are as rare as "Speckled Hen" on this side of the pond.

This one was another Barnes and Nobles barging book purchase to go with the others in the series. For the price it's a good view and read.
 
Good scores Jim.
Aaron, I'll keep my eyes open. That one in the UK is still there for £19.95, and postage to the USA would be around £6 to £9 at a guess, If I sent it, but I think that total, at around £30, is a bit high.
 
This arrived today, 'won' for £5 on the bay. The original price label is still on the back, showing £10.95 in 1996, so a good result !
Just waiting for Volume 1 of 'Battle of Britain Archive' to arrive - should be with me in the next couple of days.

I've just received the first Volume of the new 'Battle of Britain Archive' from Wingleader.
An excellent companion series, and a similar format to their 'Luftwaffe Crash Archive' volumes, it covers every combat day from 10th July to 22nd July, 1940, with photographs, maps, colour profiles and paintings, combat reports and much more.
Like the 'LCA' series, there are 10 Volumes planned, and this first Volume alone covers 127 pages. As stated in the Introductory leaflet accompanying the first Volume, the authors have yet to see how many pages will be required for the 'busy' month of August 1940 !

Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the Battle, and, as the original publicity release proclaimed, probably the most important work on the Battle since 'Battle of Britain, Then and Now', first published in the early 1980's.
If anyone would like to see more, I'll photograph and post some sample pages - I don't want to break the spine putting it on the scanner.
