Watch where you're setting if I were you. Some of those things dropping in your lap can get quite heavy, and well there are some other delicate items there also. It could hurt!
A new book in my library.

Balance of the first half of 2022 new - and old - book arrivals. Still have a couple of books on back order that might arrive before 30 June 2022.
Very much focussed on the experiences of RAAF personnel in the Pacific in WW2.
Latest part in this very good series.
An older book then sets out the operational record of RAF Fairey Battle and Bristol Blenheim squadrons operating over France from September 1939 until the end of the Battle of France. Has some gaps in details due to what records were available when it was written, but does include many first hand accounts from Battle and Blenheim aircrew involved in the operations described.
One of the more recent books about a RAAF pilot trained in Australia and Canada under the EATS, who then served with No.130 Squadron RAF on Spitfire IX and XIV.
A different perspective book based off an academic dissertation that looks at the cultural impact of the RAF and Aircrew 1939 to 1945. Looks how the RAF was depicted in many aspects of culture including film, books, and everyday life in the UK during WW2.

RZM Imports recently had a dinged corner sale and I was able to pick up a book on my want list for $50. Great book shop to deal with.

These pair came yesterday. From France, fast and much cheaper than other options.

This arrived yesterday. In my first look through I have noted the number of photographs that are incorrectly or poorly captioned - example an A-36 identified as a P-51, incorrect dates listed against photographs (a year out in date, eg should be 1943 but caption says 1944) and similar. It was originally due for publication some months back, only published late June, the extra time was obviously not for final checking and editing.
Disappointing to hear, especially for that publisher.

Nothing drives me crazy like miscaptioned photos, and other sloppy editing. 50mm machine guns, anyone?

I have the Aircraft Carriers version of this book and it's one of the best in my collection. As soon as RZM offered these for sale I had to have one!
