A new book in my library.

We need the envy button.

The "Air War over Spain" is usually in the hundreds euros in the second hand market.

If you are quick there is a copy for 26 Euro here Air War over Spain by Jesus Salas Larrazabal 1974 Hardcover 1st Edition | eBay

Not quick enough and, beside that, most of the lower priced don't ship to the Canary Islands (damned custom s) , so not this time.

But will keep an eye. Much lower prices than the last time I searched for it. The second hand market is pretty insane at times.

 

[MiTasol]

Yeah - I knew that shipping problem when I lived in Papua New Guinea. It is a right pain in the whatsit.

Visited the Prairie Air Museum in Bloomington IL, I was able to get these 3 titles for a $20 donation, the Flight to Arras doesn't seem to have even been opened before I purchased it. All off the used book display in the gift shop.

First team is a great read.

They made three, and one is still around, bouncing from aviation museum to aviation museum.

Thanks mate.

First team is a great read.

I agree, I am about 80 pages into it and it is hard to put down. I did not realize that VF-2 on the Lexington operated Brewster Buffalo's until about the middle of January 1942. And thst they did strafe a Japanese Submarine on at least 1 mission. So the Navy did operate the F2A in combat, not just the Marines of VMF-211 at Midway. Just not air to air combat.

Well my magical doorstep has been quite busy. I ordered one and they sent, well you see!

I tried to tell them when I got two tracking numbers but they wouldn't listen!

If you like reading history, you will love this author. I'm just finishing up his "Fighter Group" a history of the 352nd Fighter Group, The Blue Nosed Basters of Bodney. This book or the "Hells Angles " will be my next pick up.

Look for Jay A. Stout at your bookstore. I got these from Thrift Books on line.

He is a retired US Marine fighter pilot.
