A lovely book that summarizes the beginning and the end of the Valkyrie program, including some criticism of museum handling of the one artifact left.
Feeling pretty happy, been the Half Price book store probably 8 times in the last couple of months and bought nothing. Decided to stop in today and glad I did. Scored these three for less than 40 bucks.
Operation Lusty has lots of pictures and info on the collection of Luftwaffe aircraft and rockets at end of war. Small chapter on captured Japanese Aircraft as well. The 19th bomb history is massive. 863 pages. Too bad they didn't have part two as well or would have bought it too and well for 4 bucks couldn't turn down the B-17 squadron signal book..
It provides short biographies for the first 1500 members of the Royal Flying Corps, as well as a brief summary of the Corps' formation and uniforms. The latter part is rather too brief for my liking but it's still an interesting addition to my library.
Not aeronautical and not new - but certainly the most entertaining/enlightening book I've read so far this year.
Despite the label - total cost was $5.
