Halfway through this magazine....

Again, if you have a W H Smith near you, GET IT, it's well worth the money, £7.99....
Gonna try to get their Aviation Classics issue for the Lancaster now....
 
Excellent hauls folks! Keep up the good work. Just a reminder, don't forget that Amazon has had the Folke-Wulf Fw190 Volume 3 1944-1945 out for pre-order since about April and it will be out about the 10th of February 2014. Had my on order since I got notice of it.

Only had a quick glance through it so far, old chap. from what I can see so far, it's not unlike the 'At War' series, and appears to be more of a general overview covering the usual - design and development, into service, chapters on use by various air arms and theatres and so on. Photo quality id reasonable, and there's a few I don't think I've seen before.
If I'd bought this at full price (RRP £25, and I've seen it second hand for up to £140 !!!!) I think I would have been disappointed, but for £4.06 plus £2.76 shipping, I'm not complaining, and it may well turn out better than expected, once I get to reading it.
 
Got three more bargains from 'The Works'.
'The Silver Spitfire', as well as being Tom Neil's story, is the intriguing tale of how he 'liberated' a Spitfire for his own use, had it stripped down to bare metal, and how, when the 'authorities' were catching up with him, he 'got rid of it' ! I look forward to reading the details of this escapade!
'Catch that Tiger' is the story of the Tiger 1, now in the Tank Museum at Bovington, and how Winston Churchill personally briefed a young British officer to go and capture an example of this then fearsome new weapon.
