Wayne,
Was thinking of picking up that one as well. Care to give an opinion/review a la Terry?

Just ordered "Resurrection: Salvaging the Battle Fleet at Pearl Harbor" by David Madsden. I've been looking for a book about the salvage of Pearl Harbor for over 20 years. This book just came out. Hope it's as good as it's reviews.

Finished this book last week.
I'm now halfway through this one. It may explain my fascination with Java Sea.

Will have to fit that in for you, thumbing through the pages a great addition to the library!
Sweet! Thanks brother!

Ain't nothin' Royal 'bout that!
Glad it was only about a 1.5 cm tear. Well, small enough to not bother with sending it back for a replacement. Second time it's happened. First was Osprey's 'He111 Kampfgeschwader in the West' they managed to almost rip that in half across the spine. I was baffled because you physically wouldn't be able to do it by hand if you tried. Had to get a replacement that time. It scares you though when your awaiting a particularly rare out of print book just what kind of state it's going to be delivered as.

It certainly does cause concern - fortunately, I've been lucky so far, although I've received the odd kit where the box was crushed, although the contents were intact - and that's even with excellent packaging! Obviously no consideration for the service they supposedly provide - after large price increases and longer delays.
Anyway, look like interesting books !

Yes, I've not had much chance to look at them yet. The Me410 walkaround photo booklet is ok for detailed shots and makes a nice addition to the free walkaround photos I can get from the net but like they say, you can never have enough detail photos.

Yep. I got permission to take a load of detail shots of the '410 last year. Unfortunately, as she was up on jacks at the time, the Museum's H&S coverage couldn't allow me into the cockpit - but I was allowed to crawl under her, with the cowlings and weapons bay open.
Wayne, you don't know everything yet? 
Terry, those pictures must be a literal site to see!

After having searched for a couple of years, I FINALLY obtained the missing volume to complete my collection of the Luftwaffe Classics series! The 4 books on the Me 262 IMHO are hard to beat.

..still looking for Vol I at a sensible price, Vols II III seem to have been reprinted but not Vol I...

I believe Vol 1 was reprinted as well, as the cover I have differs from most I've seen. I also had the same issue about finding them at reasonable prices (which is why it took so long to get them), here are the 3 sites I've used will looking for specific books.

blimey VB, those prices are outrageous!
.. you would have thought that it must be worth some-one's while to do something about that. Look at this one..just finished..that's 215 USD....
Hi Neil. I have it from a good source that some of the earliest Classic volumes are unable to be reprinted...

The insane prices come into play when you try to get the Jv-44 or Hs-129 ones.
