Newest arrival today, might be the next one I start after finishing up Rocky Boyers War by Allen Boyer if my copy of South Pacific Air War Vol 2 does not show up first as I finished up Vol 1. To many books to read and not enough time. Wish I could retire LOL.

Flicked through it Paul, looks interesting.....BUT got to finish Eagles of the Southern Sky first then on to South Pacific Air War Vol.2, then Carrier attack.

Ive got volume one read, I think by end of week vol 2 arrives, then maybe carrier attack. Still have two other books start that I need to finish first lol
 
Cheers Paul.

I read SW Pacific Vol. 1 first then Eagles even though I'd had Eagles for quite some time, turned out reading SWP.1 first then on to Eagles fitted the overlap of the timeline of the period best. I'm into the back end of Eagles now so should be onto SWP.2 soon.
 
Yesterdays latest arrivals.

Wayne, I finally got my South Pacific Air War Vol 2 yesterday. Hoping to start it today as low is suppose to be -26 degree's with the wind chill. Good day to stay around the fire and read a good book.

The Search That Never Was is about the search for missing Americans in the Pacific during WWII. About half the book looks to be about the loss of the authors uncles B-24. The rest of the book covers missing American aircraft and there crews from what I can see flipping through the pages.
