I have been eyeballing that on Amazon.com Wayne. How is it? A friend gave me a gift certificate for Christmas and I think I might enjoy that.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Very cool! I've thought about getting that one as well. Any good?

talking of kamikazes, this new volume deals in some detail with actions by the Luftwaffe's own 'Selbstopfer' (self-sacrifice) pilots. Volume II of Mombeeck's JG 4 history just published and now available in the US via Eagle Editions..(translated by Neil Page)

Looks like another selection of books I need to add to my list. I didn't realize that Mombeeck had to be translated. I have a few books by him.

He has a nice easy writing style - unfortunately it's in French, which I do. The personal accounts are from the original German, which I also do. I also do Mombeeck's blurb as in this presentation of the book Wayne has just bought (cheers, mate)
"...In our Luftwaffe Gallery series I am pleased to present this expanded 'special' edition devoted to JG 26, the famed "Abbeville Boys" or "Abbeville Kids" of RAF and USAAF legend. This super new title is a 96-page A-4 landscape format book with the emphasis on the finest photographic illustrations, exceptional artwork and new and exciting personal accounts. The heart of the book comprises some thirty high quality profiles drawn and painted by Thierry Dekker and a collection of rare and, in many instances, previously unseen photographs. The selection of new first person accounts provide an unparalleled view of air combat in the skies of Britain and France, from dog-fighting between Messerschmitts and Spitfires during the campaign in the West and the Battle of Britain, to fighter bomber missions over southern England, to the Allied invasion of Normandy and the desperate sorties flown by the unit's Fw 190s against the huge USAAF bomber streams...."
There was a PBS NOVA special about Bomber 31. As I remember, it was quite good...
