Very cool Andy! I'd love to hear what you think of it.

-------------------------

There was another thread that talked about "What if Japan Invaded USSR in 1941" which lead to the discussion of Khalkhin Gol. Not having a lot of info on the topic esp the Air War aspect I happen to come across this book which I just purchased on eBay as well. Once read I will give a review.

Today while helping a friend Christmas shop I got sucked into the book section at a local close-out store and picked up these lovlies. Patton's Air Force is about Brig Gen Otto Weylands XIX Tacticle Air Command. The Great War - The Illustrated History of the First World War is a 6 volume set that totals about 2,700 pages and goes into a pretty detailed analysis with tons of pics. The downside is they did not have the last volume but they have another store near where I work at that hopefully will have it. Regardless, don't tell me how it ends!

Nice finds David!!

I'd be interested in your review of the Khalkhin Gol book - I included it on the Christmas wish-list I send out to the in-laws (they always get me aeroplane books so, rather than waste their money, I give them some steers on things that would interest me!).

Looks like you and I have some similar interests!

Cheers,
B-N

I like the review. Short, to the point and easily understood!

Excellent finds!!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

....and I did it again.

I just bought this book only to find out somebody had bought it as a gift for me. DOH!!!

 

[buffnut453]

THAT's why I give my in-laws a wish list every year!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Smart man!

 

[buffnut453]

Nah, just tired of finding devious ways of getting rid of unwanted books without the gift-giver finding out.

It's not that I'm ungrateful but if someone loves me enough to buy a gift for me, I don't want them wasting their money.

Hey Dave, let me know how much you want for it. I picked this up off of amozon this week and also ordered the first book In the Cockpit I. should be here next week.

Too late mon ami, I've already found it a good home.

I have the Bf-109 Lancaster books, what do you think of the Spitfire one?

Oh good! How soon can I expect it?

No problem. I got the P-51 a few weeks ago and loved it so when I saw this one on Amozon I jumped on it along with In The Cockpit I to go with II. I have not had a chance to look through it yet as it just showed up yesterday and I have had way to much going on.

I just got the Fw 190 book today in the mail and I am soooo psyched! As you can see, this is #18 of a series published in 1968. My father bought the whole series and I used to look through them as a kid. When he passed away, I got his library and sadly some of the books were missng. I got this off Amazon for $1.96!! Now I just need #10 and its complete again. Brought back so many memories!!!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Very cool!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree!
