A new book in my library.

Christmas prezzie from my friend Max.
Hard back, 340 pages, B&W and colour photos.
Should be a good read.

Ordered "Luchtspiegeling 2" by Bart M. Rijnhout, which is about the Dutch PBMs in the 1950's and the problems they had with them. Ordered Dec 1 and it finally go thru customs on Tuesday. Hopefully will have it in hand this weekend. If it's in Dutch, it will take me a while to have Google do a translation.

Wayne, my copy of the 22 Squadron Boston in RAAF Service book arrived with the post man yesterday. Another fine effort from Avonmore in documenting a piece of RAAF history. I have a special interest in 22 Squadron RAAF as a next door neighbour and long time family friend when I was just a mere lad, had been an armourer with 22 Squadron in PNG on both Bostons and Beaufighters.

Will be interesting which of their Pacific campaign based series Avonmore pursue first in 2025.

Glad it has extra value to you.
I look forward to whatever they do in 2025, I have enjoyed each of the Pacific series books. and currently half way through the Vol.3 of Solomons Air war.

This is not a new book but one I downloaded from the now defunct avia.it site pre covid and I cannot think of where else to post it.

It is a 1945 Italian aircraft recognition handbook for American aircraft and for some reason only the Editor would know it features a Lancaster on the cover.

Avia was a great site with lots of great manuals for most Italian ww2 aircraft and engines, very few of which interest me, so it is a great loss to those who do research on Italian aircraft of the period. This is the only manual I remember downloading from them.

In German. It is possible that this is a condensed version of the "Owner's Workshop Manual" by the same author (I don't have this book, unfortunately) with an addition on combat use.
