Very cool Andy and great to see you around. I was wondering if you where still here my fiend
Few news one that have arrived this week. The aircraft armament book was printed in 1945 and covers Aircraft turrets, bombs, torpedo's, fuses and rockets of the time frame along with comparisons of dive bombing and such used by multiple countries during WWII. Talisman is a book on mainly bomber nose art though a few on fighters and transports mixed it, quick scan of books showed some nose art I have never seen before along with quite a few in color with nice semi gloss photo with good detail. The last book shown is about the 90th bomb group and three men that flew together in plane and there stories of WWII through there eyes.
Quite a book at over 800 pages long.

"The Women Who Flew for Hitler"- Clare Mulley
Hanna Reitsch and Melitta von Stauffenberg were talented, courageous and strikingly attractive women who fought convention to make their names in the male-dominated field of flight in 1930s Germany. With the war, both became pioneering test pilots and both were awarded the Iron Cross for service to the Third Reich. But they could not have been more different and neither woman had a good word to say for the other.
Hanna was middle-class, vivacious and distinctly Aryan, while the darker, more self-effacing Melitta, came from an aristocratic Prussian family. Both were driven by deeply held convictions about honour and patriotism but ultimately while Hanna tried to save Hitler's life, begging him to let her fly him to safety in April 1945, Melitta covertly supported the most famous attempt to assassinate the Führer. Their interwoven lives provide a vivid insight into Nazi Germany and its attitudes to women, class and race.
Acclaimed biographer Clare Mulley gets under the skin of these two distinctive and unconventional women, giving a full - and as yet largely unknown - account of their contrasting yet strangely parallel lives, against a changing backdrop of the 1936 Olympics, the Eastern Front, the Berlin Air Club, and Hitler's bunker. Told with brio and great narrative flair, The Women Who Flew for Hitler is an extraordinary true story, with all the excitement and colour of the best fiction.

If you are thinking of purchasing, don't do as I did...go to Book Depository. Absolutely no affiliation, just some helpful advice.
