pre-ordered my Vol 3 Dora yonks ago too, its marked "dispatched" but no sign of it yet...to be honest a little bit apprehensive re the contents given that Crandall Japo must have covered just about everything there is to know about the Dora, hopefully though Mr Creek will have much more on the operational history of the type compared to the other publishers..
Dang it, you guys get these books months before we do. I should have ordered it from the UK too!
I've only had a brief 'flip' through it so far Paul, but it seems reasonable. Volume 1 covers all the KG's and sub-units up to KG60, with histories, ORBATs, aircraft, commanders, key operations and so on and, although at first glance the photo content seems 'average', there are some I don't think I've seen before. All in all I thuink it should prove a useful reference ., but, being brutally honest, I think I would have had to think carefully before buying it at the 'normal' price of £35.Well done guys!!!
Terry how is that book. I hope to have both Volume 1 and 2 by tomorrow or Saturday.
Jan, nice one. In the mother tongue I presume?
I think it's fair to say that both assumptions are correct. I haven't had time yet to give it a thorough going over but initially it does cover much of the Crandall/JaPo material, it couldn't really not do that. The latter two thirds of the book does spend more time on operational use of the later versions, as well as a bit of "what iffery".
Cheers

The Ju88 book was alongside on the shelf, at a reduced price of £60 and, having flipped through that one, albeit briefly, I wasn't prepared to pay that sort of money for what appeared to be a reasonable, but probably not brilliant book.
@ Steph...I like those Luftwaffe Gallery books too you are missing the JG 26 'special' though
