A new book in my library.

[Micdrow]

Have'nt had much intrest in aviation as of late, so hopfully these will rekindle it this weekend. My newest pickups.

Looks like some good reading Paul, hope it rekindles the fire there. I have The Eagle Squadrons Yanks in the RAF 1940-1942.
Oh an anyone who has ordered the second volume of Focke-Wulf Fw190 1943-1944, from Amazon, you need to go to your Amazon account and verify that you still want it. It has been delayed. I checked it last night before I went to bed and saw this. I thought they would have E-mailed me but they haven't.

I just got the #(*$(@{@!#)@(#))#*$ message myself! RATS!!!!!! I have been able to acquire the complete set except for the Ho-229 Me-262 #4.

..FWIW I just went on the Ian Allan Facebook page and they are saying Vol II has arrived in the UK from the printers

I am suppose to have mine by the 19 December now. A months delay but I'll wait. What else am I going to do.

While researching for info about Flight Lt. Herb Ivens, mentioned in Johnbr's post, "A Remembrance Day Story" I came upon this site, DHH - Official Histories
It's a three volume(over 1500 pages) PDF titled "The R.C.A.F. Overseas". It's a free download from the Canadian Government. Enjoy.

EDIT: I had to Google search to get the other two volumes. They may be on the web page somewhere.
