That is pretty neat! Can I ask roughly how much that ran?

Doh! Now I have been called to the Vatican and I am not even Catholic!
Robert, I have about 50 bucks into it since I only made one. But I have found nothing close in the market like it so for me its a win situation. I am learning tons in it as the Japanese Army and Navy couldn't even use the same bombs as the shackles where different. Even same caliber ammo was different design and would not work in the same type of gun of the same caliber. It needs fine tuned but I never thought I would get the quality and clarity from the declassified pdf's and I never thought about mass producing it as I doubt a lot of people would be interested in it. All pages are declassified notes from WWII and I think I have around 5 or 6 different ones combined in this book

I would imagine you have a considerable amount of time invested in cleaning up the source PDF's as well. Don't sell yourself short however, I suspect a lot of folks both in our hobby and those interested in history in general would be interested in your work. It is certainly an excellent reference source!
Thanks Robert, but in all honest I have got more time in trying to find the documents through the years then cleaning them up for this
Another great book in a great series...man does not live by aviation alone...only mostly!

That looks interesting Jim...!
Yeah, I was thumbing through it earlier this evening and seriously thought, "Damn, there's too much information in this book!"

My latest additions - I've been looking for them all but prices were astronomical. Thankfully managed to get them without breaking the piggybank (at least not too much!). I can heartily recommend all 3 books:

Very nice, esp the David Vincent ones!

Yeah...those are excellent. A number of previously unpublished photos and thoroughly referenced text. Just shows what can be achieved when the author self-publishes and so doesn't have to bend to the editorial whims of an established publishing house.
Great purchases. Always wondered how the Hudson faired in combat. Seem like one of the least modified commercial aircraft to take on an offensive combat role.
Was toying with that last book, but was put off by it's age and drawings (?), should I reconsider?

Nice buys! Both those Hudson books are superb - IMO the go to source for RAAF usage.
