A new book in my library.

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Excellent scores Dave!

It's one thing to go in and find what you're looking for (or ordering it by mail, etc) but it's a whole different matter when you score a cool book unintentionally!

 

[Lucky13]

Looks like everyone is scoring some great reads!

I was at B&N browsing around, and found an awesome book on the universe...I've always been fascinated by the enormity of what lies beyond our world and this book is just about as awesome as it can possibly get! There's 1001 high-res photos of everything from our moon to the most distant galaxies. There's even photos of planets circling distant stars!

So for any of you space buffs (or anyone that's interested in space), this 400 page book is total eye candy and a must-have
The author is Pierre Bizony and published by Metro Books ISBN: 978-1-4351-3244-3

Well, how about a few teasers then mate!

Oh, and you're welcome Maria.... *limps to the couch*

 

[GrauGeist]

Well, how about a few teasers then mate!

Sure, I'll toss up three teasers for ya'!

First shot is from page 104, and is a nice detailed photo of Saturn's moon, Rhea...it suuuuure looks familiar, doesn't it...

Next, is an amazing photo of the Nebula NGC3603, which is 20,000 lightyears distant and is found on page 213

And then we have a very cool image (seen top right, numbered 5 in the photo) found on page 139 and I'll let the page's caption do the talking!

Now how's that for a teaser?

 

[Lucky13]

Super mate!
Cheers!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice!

As I've been reading about the ill fated "Baby Blitz", Operation Steinbock, I was inspired to get a copy of this epic story:

Only £26.00 on Amazon at the moment if anyone else is interested?

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice one...

 

[Airframes]

Good catch Paul. Why is it the bargains are always around when there's too much month left at the end of the money ?!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Way cool Paul, please let us know what you think of it.

 

[Crimea_River]

Which reminds me, I must acknowledge Paul's generosity in sending me a brand new copy of the book "Night of the Intruders" by Ian McLachlan. Those of you who have been following my soon-to-be-resurrected Me 410 build may recall that Paul has had a keen interest in that build as I've tried to depict the aircraft of Major Dietrich Puttfarken, who's name shows up in Paul's siggy. Puttfarken was lost, presumably over the North Sea, on the night of April 22/23, 1944 while taking part in the intruder operations against Mission 311, the subject of this book.

Thank-you Paul!

 

[Lucky13]

Nice ones fellas!

 

[Maximowitz]

Thank you all - and happy reading Andy, it is a gripping story.

I'll certainly report back on the 177 book. It has been getting very good reviews on other forums although a few miss-captioned photos have been mentioned, but that's easy enough to sort out.

 

[Njaco]

NIce finds and I'll have to search around for that Mission 311 book. Very interesting. I checked Amamzon and my "Emblems" book has shipped and should be here....today or tommorrow.

 

[Njaco]

I GOT IT!!! And well worth the wait!! Emblems for every LW unit for every branch, SE fighters, TE fighters, bombers , transports, training......on and on!!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

EXCELLENT!!!!

 

[GrauGeist]

Sounds like an excellent score, Chris...that would have sure come in handy back in the combat sim "skinnin'" days

 

[futuredogfight]

Picked up "The Air Fighters" a couple of days ago. Covers some very famouse squadrons and pilots. Also got 940 page guide to Army combat and have Jane's Tanks on the way
