That'll be next after TFT. I'm impressed by his writing in TFSPC as it focused on command decisions driving the strategy rather than small-unit actions, and I learned an awful lot about why the leaders on both sides made the decisions they did.

I haven't read TFSPC but that sounds nice. Will look for it
 
Just scored a very rare one dated January 1954. Very tatty - both covers torn off with bent and torn pages - but worth preserving

I can't believe that they demolished this building! 😳😲😥

Inisfada was the North Hills, Long Island estate of Nicholas Frederic Brady and Genevieve Brady (née Garvan), a papal duke and duchess. Nicholas Brady was a convert from Episcopalianism to Catholicism and built the mansion as his family residence. Completed in 1920, the home was later given to the Jesuits. They used the building as a seminary and later as the St. Ignatius Retreat House. The property was sold in May 2013 to developers, and the house was demolished in December 2013.

The Loss Of Inisfada – Part I
 
I have only picked up one other magazine since before COVID. My small stash has a PBM5A and a Sunderland. I wanted to read about SP-5B Marlin. Nice story on OV-10 and Mustard Mk 1 photo recon. I could have bought a model for the price if the magazine. It will be awhile before I get another one.

GAF (Australia) All through jet trainer

I think this book only survived as well as it did because all the pages with diagrams and formulas on them are heavy photographic paper making it very stiff. The front cover was torn off and is missing and the rear cover barely hanging by just a few threads. As many of the pages have...

Isn't there 6 20mm's, the 3 in the cockpit, 2 under the right wing root, and 1 in the gondola? Great picture, not much has been written about the He111 night fighter's, radar trainers, or straffers.
