Slowly making my way through this one, being a jerk a looking for mislabeled pictures...

Love me these Putnam books. If I find one for cheap I try to snap it up. Tasty.

Nice Jim, been eyeing up the broken wings but had not pulled the trigger yet. How is it.

Thanks Paul

Well like I said I'm being a jerk with this book and so far I'm only up to France and I have found two incorrectly identified aircraft, however on the plus side I have not seen any of these photos before that I can remember. Even if it only came with what I have seen so far it would still be pretty much worth it, around $20.00 US more or less. Another plus is the balance of the correct captions are much more extensive, in most cases, than in previous books by the author. All in all I am very happy with it.

Far smaller, but much thicker than Bill Norton's previous four books in his five book series. It appears to have fewer pictures on balance than them also, but it is a gem. If you plan to buy, don't stop looking until you find one for sale in the 30's (USD).

Not a book, but a DVD - the John Dibbs documentary on the Spitfire.
(His second film, "American Warhorse", featuring the P-51 is due out in summer 2020).

It should arrive later this week, but from what I've seen of the trailer, the video photography, particularly air to air, is superb - as one would expect from Dibbs .
