A new book in my library. (3 Viewers)

[Capt. Vick]

The latest in the series I guess. Been thumbing my way through it and have been enjoying the trip.

A B-24 book selection, yes, but a B-17 book selection, no. Not that there are not good B-17 books out there, it'sjust that none jump out at me right now. Will keep thinking though...

What are your top B-24 picks?

Thanks. Will be watching for a (reasonable) copy of Consolidated Mess.

Do you guys have B-17 book suggestions? I have Freeman's B-17 Flying Fortress book and was looking to add another to my collection full of great content.

Depends on what you are looking for. The mechanical side and history of the machine or squadrons, markings and such? Currently at work but post a few I have that you might find interesting.

Thanks Paul

Hello Paul,

I'm more interested in the history and quality photographs although I may get into modeling down the road with my son.

Morning Steve,

I have both of these. Both are good on history and different models with pictures though me personally prefer Peter M Bowers even though its older. It has quite a few more pictures of the early years of the B-17 and well I prefer the 8x11 roughly pages over the 6x9 roughly pages. Both cover from beginning of the B-17 to post war usage. Both can be found for a decent price yet. Hope it helps

All the best
Paul

I haven't been reading much as of late with airventure shut down this year and most museums so far I have just not had the desire to read as much. Picked this one up a while back that has some interesting things in it. Picture from books as never new the Japanese did something like this. Below is book 2, I don't have book 1 yet but may order it yet.

No problem

Got this one today. Looks to be a fantastic book and a five pounder!

 

[Capt. Vick]

This came today and is supposedly signed by all three involved in its creation. I don't know, I wasn't there.

B-17 Books. I think you can't go wrong with Martin Bowman

​

The Crowood Series of aviation books are good too

​

 

[Capt. Vick]

Always wondered about those Crowood books.

 

[Greg Boeser]

Ordered today, will have by the end of the month.
