Beautiful color shots...

German aircraft used by the Regia Aeronautica. Great pictures of RA Dornier night fighters yo!

A great, but incredibly sad book.

A 10 year reissue with about a 100 new pages (?). And honestly guys...can anyone get enough Do 335? Not this guy!

Ya know, just this morning I was saying to myself: "Self, it has been awhile since Capt Vick added any new books to his library, this means given a century more or so you might catch up!" Then I saw this post...

 

[Capt. Vick]

I know this isn't the usual fare for this thread...but it is a book and it's newly added to my library.

I've been doing some family history research lately and have come to the conclusion that I must have the most boring family on the face of the planet. I can trace my ancestors back to around 1700 and, almost without exception, they were born, lived and died within a 7 mile radius of where I grew up in St.Helens.. Essentially, my family's story is closely aligned with the development of the town during the industrial revolution (hence the book). There are no great heroes in my family tree and virtually all my family were simply poor, working-class people who ground out their lives on the canal, in the coal mines, glassworks and chemical factories of my home town.

I realize this probably isn't of interest to anyone else on the forum...but thought I'd share. For the record, the book was written in 1954 and is actually quite excellent (and far more readable than I was expecting).

Nice one Mark. I've got a few books about my home town and I find them way more interesting than say, a book about the history of Montreal

Good stuff.

I second fubar57 thoughts! I have several books on my hometowns. Simsbury CT, and Bloomfield CT and they mean a lot more to me than generic history books!

Yak one is thick and full of info, profile and pictures. Looks to be a good read. Just got it today along with another one on Pappy Gunn

Hmmm. for awhile there I wondered if I had wandered into an armor forum by mistake

But the latter books saved me!
