It's a great read H!

In fact the author is a member here.

 

[Wayne Little]

Geez, some excellent buys fellas!

 

[Crimea_River]

Gotta agree there.

 

[Lucky13]

Totally!

Very similar to Lynn Ritger's 'Modellers Datafile 9' on the early 109s.

 

[Wayne Little]

haven't seen that one before? What's it like Clint...

 

[Airframes]

I haven't either. New series perhaps?

 

[clinton78]

Without looking too in depth just yet it seems quite good. Hopefully other editions will be released on the later versions but so far I've not seen it mentioned. As I said it's very similar to Lynn Ritger's Bf109 books which are OOP and hard to get hold of cheaply. So if you do not have the early variant edition of Lynn's book get this whilst it's hot... Has same size look and feel (Paper) as Lynn's book. Pretty much if like me you simply have to own anything and everything on the Bf109E then this book is a good call. Two sets of fold out plans at the back.

A very similar format and style to the 'SAM' guides - looks good.

I ordered Black Edelweiss today. I guess I'm allowed to post books besides aviation-related books?

I noticed that too, really nice layout!

Sure go for it, I haven't seen anyone taken out back and beaten for posting non-aircraft related material so far...unless it's a bacon cookbook...

Altho I have, and read, the hardback addition, I just downloaded "The Flyboys" into my Kindle 'Touch'. I'm starting chapter five, and for some reason, do not remember reading about the history of early Japan, in the hard back edition. The one point I must have missed, along the way, was the item about Japanese Army privates, standing in lines facing each other, and trading slap for slap, in the face. I just cannot imagine doing that, for any reason. Anyhow, I'm enjoying the book..... even tho it is the second time around.

i have that book as well Charles. It's a good background story about the Japanese soldiers mindset and the environment that made it possible. But the story itself is horrible, showing the worst of human kind I think.

Order of Battle: German Infantry in WWII
Sniping in The Great War

I picked up both today for about $15. The German book is very informative.

 

[Maximowitz]

Yet another one for my UHU collection.

 

[Lucky13]

Nice one!

 

[GrauGeist]

I've always liked the He219...had some real potential

Great addition!

 

[Wayne Little]

Good one!
