A new book in my library.

So the other day I wander into Barnes Noble and check the bargin bin. I find "Dogfight" edited by Tony Holmes. Cool! Great price - I buy it.

I get the book home and start checking it out. I have a few books by Tony Holmes and it should be good but.....it starts to look familiar to me. I check some more and......its a compilation of books published earlier. All those "This Plane vs That plane" books all in one hard back. Thats cool since I only had one of them. So this book is compiled of the following.....

Heads up to anyone living in the Ruhr. As soon as Jan finds a Lanc he can modify, he'll be obliging your desire to live on beach front property!

Some definite low flying will on occasion occur.....ok, any and every time I get the chance!
Practice around Macclesfield first!

Btw, a Lancaster cost, when new.....£50,000, in today's money that would be about £1,500,000!
So, a Bugatti or any of the other crazy cars OR......a real Lancaster?
I think that the Lancaster wins on all points!

Dang, went to two Barnes Nobles on the way home last night and neither had a copy of the Dogfights book.

Just like a woman, old man, its not the initial cost that kills you, its the upkeep!!!

Morning Chris,

All in all a nice little book, would love to have seen it bigger or should I say more pages. Pictures are really nice and sharp but the book is only 36 pages long with 8 profile pictures. Nice for modelers as there are some pictures showing both sides of certain aircraft or different views. Could use more detail on pictures though (example under picture caption. A scrap yard of Me262's and has no other details yet others have tons of detail) I picked mine copy up for 9 bucks yesterday. I would not pay more then 10 bucks though as I have seen some pictures on the net or in other books.

 

[Njaco]

Very good, thanks!! Now to troll Amazon!

 

[Micdrow]

Couple of more I picked up just now
