Dang! I just came across this. Larry Hickey obituary

In memory of Lawrence J. Hickey founder of IHRA – International Historical Research Associates

It is with great sadness that we announce that Lawrence J. Hickey the founder of International Historical Research Associates (IHRA) died on August 14, 2021.

Yeah saw this last week, been wondering how this will affect the last 4 books of the Pacific series he was writing as President and founder or if the last 4 books will never happen now.

Ton of history just lost with his passing. Very sad thing.

I don't know what's holding up the Sunsetters. They put out a special edition for the 38th Bomb Group Association several years ago. I hope the remaining staff can complete the books in progress. I've been waiting for them for years.

Despite the title, I was hoping it would have information on the wartime JRM. Oh well, it is an interesting "what if" document reprint and the cost was reasonable.

Gifts from my ex-girl friend! They look awesome!

In volume 3, page 28, bottom photo is a Coronado, not a Mariner. Just sayin'.

Great reads, you won't be disappointed.

So no one questioned the "ex-girlfriend" comment? No one?

Obviously I was talking about my Wife, who is no longer my girlfriend, so she's my ex-girlfriend.

Or did you guys know that and just didn't think it was clever enough to warrant comment? Tough crowd!

Morning, I believe this series is different than the Black Cross Red Star series. I only have book 3 of that series out of 5. I did not see any pictures that where the same with a quick flip through both series on Stalingrad. I have not read the series yet of the books I got. I didn't want to start till I had all 4 and to get all 4 has taken a lot of time as they are asking pretty high prices for some of them. Below are all 4 books for the series.

Thanks. They seems different, more specific over certain battles. I do have the 5 BCRS published to date (vol 1 the original edición, not the new one) but don't know if the they are so much different or precise over those battles to be worth buying them also given lack of enough money, space, time and taking in account wife reaction.

Sure they are worth buying but I'm not sure if they are that much worth!

We live at a time where a married, male olympic athlete has a sex change, ends his (third) marriage, and shacks up with a woman. And you expect us to take note of your "ex-girlfriend" comment as something out of the ordinary? Sheeesh!

In post 8432 I was less than impressed with this book. Today I forced myself to read some more and I am far more inclined to suggest it. It uses a combination of official records and the memories of those involved to describe what went on and has some very interesting comments - one of which has caused me to start a new thread
Which other countries had "suicidal" aircrew in WW2?
