A new book in my library.

[Micdrow]

Thanks guys, another special find, covers from 1924 of the RCAF till 1968. Lots of detail for a subject that again I don't have allot on even if the book is older and published back in 1977 but wish other authors would follow similar format. Attached is a page from the book

 

[Capt. Vick]

Wow! Heavy duty.

 

[Wildcat]

Nice!

 

[Micdrow]

Looks interesting!

Thanks Andy, covers RAF fighter command claims, Ju87 operational losses from July-December 1940, even some ground casualties sustained during main Stuka attacks against the British mainland targets.

Picked this up for a price that made me not mind I can't read french. Anyone have a translation?

 

[Micdrow]

Nice one there Jim!!!, Lots of pictures I hope

 

[fubar57]

Nice jim. Do like I do, word by word in Google Tranlsate. Hours of fun to translate one caption

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yes lots of pictures!

Sounds like fun Geo. It's not like I don't have a hangar to finish.

What looks like more fun is translating Japanese, they want you to hand draw the characters. You draw them and Google gives you suggestions and you pick the best one. With apologies to Shinpachi, this was my attempt at de Havilland Mosquito...

Somebody lent me Fate is the Hunter by Ernest K. Gann. It's an old book but a real page turner. Anyone read it?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yes! Loved it! I just wish he remembered to ask his buddy who crash landed in Canada what the arrow was for!

 

[Crimea_River]

Yep, agreed. Tried to Google that event and there's not much info out there on it.

Gann has a way with words that I find funny. Continuous dissing of the C-87 cracks me up. "The C-87 was a ground-loving b!tch. When fully laded it rolled, snorted and porpoised interminably before asserting its questionable right to fly". Love it!

 

[Micdrow]

Well finally found one for an ok price in good shape hope to see it in a couple of week

 

[Wildcat]

A handy book that one Paul.

 

[Wayne Little]
