Aircraft were just a different way of delivering rocks/bombs/incendiary/nasty devices.

One of the men who most influenced the development of British bombing, Maj. Lord Tiverton (later, second Earl of Harlsbury), among his many eminently sensible suggestions (like attacking the Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik, better known to us as BASF) once suggested dropping plane loads of Colorado beetles on German farmland to devastate the potato crop

I have to thank Paul for the heads up on it. It was listed at $45.00 when I ordered it and showed up for $28.00.

Nice! I still think someone could make a mint translating those Japanese books into English!

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice one Wayne!!!

cheers mate, scored the Ki-61/ki100 book too, be in the letter box in about 2 weeks...

 

[Micdrow]

Sweet Wayne, I don't think I have any more Japanese books on order in the mail right now as cut back for Air Venture in July but this did arrive on one of my favorite subjects. The North American Mitchell in service with the Dutch, French and Polish squadrons that flew for the RAF.

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice.

Did receive my Part 2 of 'Samourai' yesterday to complete the set, about Japanese Aircraft and carriers and operations. In French but info is Good...

 

[Micdrow]

Very cool Wayne, I have been looking for those but have not found a decent enough price for them

 

[Wayne Little]

Part 2 has only just been released, Prepaid for them from Avions-Bateux when they were originally announced, to get the free postage.

I had been looking for the original for years, but scarce as rocking horse sh!t, the wait was worth it to me, now that it is expanded to the 2 volume set.

 

[Micdrow]

Many thanks for the info Wayne!

Nice! I still think someone could make a mint translating those Japanese books into English!

NOT WRONG!!!!!!

Starting way way back to Koku fan days the Japanese have produced some fantastic material and seldom bothered with a quality translation to make the publication the world wide success it usually really deserves to be.

 

[Wayne Little]

lot of japanese stuff begging for translation that's for sure...

Picked up this cheap, just before going to Holland, and just finished reading it. A good insight into life in the Luftwaffe, and worth a read.

I really enjoyed that book, Terry. A quite amazing story.

 

[Airframes]

It is indeed an amazing story of the experiences of Franz Stigler, especially in the final stages of the war.

Shame he didn't live long enough to see the book published.
