Thanks for posting that. I don't know why mine didn't work. I've always been an aviation guy, but 60's rock is my real specialty. I do a radio show on WSRX-FM here in Sussex County, NJ that's all 60's rock.This link works i think.[link removed by admin]
Was an amazon server fault. Works now.I don't know why mine didn't work.
I'm not truly an 'aviation writer' - but I did complete and publish my late father's memoir "From Coastal Command to Captivity" about his time in RAF Coastal Command and his attack on the Scharnhorst in July 1941, followed by nearly four years in various POW camps including Stalag Luft III.I just joined this forum, but I've perused it once and a while, and it seems to be frequented by some pretty knowledgeable folk. How many of you are aviation authors? Sound off...
Yes indeed, that's the book. It can also be found cheaper than that on another Amazon listing:Hi. A link to the book would be good i think.
Is it this one ? Amazon product ASIN 0850529913

Oops. Many apologies for this. I'll attach a picture of the book cover I've taken myself.Remember guys, trading is not allowed on the forum, thus links to sell-sites are in principle forbidden.
I could be wrong, but I think our Nuuumannn is Grant Newman. Writes good articles.

Yes, I wrote "THE SECRET HORSEPOWER RACE" (MORTONS) and also "Turbo/Supercharger Compressors and Turbines for Aircraft Propulsion in WWII - Theory, History and Practice, Guidance from the Past - for Modern Engineers and Students." (ASME).
Hohoho hooooo hold your horses right there...admin getting a little heavy handed. We authors work hard to get our work out there - and you go and remove the links which some people might find very useful. Its not like we're spamming unrelated stuff. Don't worry, you won't get anymore heads-up exclusive stuff from me.
Trust me, I did not do that lightly. We discussed this in the team first...admin getting a little heavy handed. We authors work hard to get our work out there - and you go and remove the links which some people might find very useful. Its not like we're spamming unrelated stuff. Don't worry, you won't get anymore heads-up exclusive stuff from me.
Surely a fairly simple rule is that if the author is ASKED to provide a link, or invited to comment on a thread ABOUT the books they`ve written, it cant be difficult to allow that.We need to set rules. We have no problem with you posting an update about your projects and personally I don't have problems with your link to buy your personal product. But the problem is that if we allow you to post those links, we create a grey area of rules. It means that we will create loopholes in the rules which will be a pain in the butt to manage. I'm afraid you're het the victim of some your fellow human beings who will (and have) take advantage of any loophole in the rules they can find.
Having said that, I'm all for supporting the aviation authors. If you have a good idea how we could achieve that without muddying up the rules, we are open for discussions.
We're discussing. We won't come up with a solution overnight. But there is much more to this than you guys realise, I think.I do see why the admins are strict in the rules. I do.
But golly. Writers ( and i mean writers of books and well known authors likeFalkeEins ) drop a link surely the admins and owner of this great site can make a distinction.
Truly hope that, those guys in my eyes, should be allowed to give a heads up when they have something related to ww2 air things to mentioned are not only allowed but welcomed..
It would be i think a great benefit to this site , the hobby and just interesting.
I do hope there can be a sensible middle and there can be an agreement.
After all i, and i think a lot of us, do like well written pieces of our hobby and can make a distinction between twaddle and welll written scripts.
Hope it will pan out for the best.
