What book is the one on the last picture to the bottom right? With the Ju-86?

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Sep 3, 2009

I have a pretty decent collection. In my little library/computer office room we have 3 ceiling high book shelves and 2 shelves half the size of those filled with books. I would say about 500+ books (plus I have another 250+ in storage). Not all of them are military/ww2 though or aviation related though. I just did a quick count and 87 of them are directly WW2 related. An equal amount though are my wife's Biology books.

Chris tell you lovely bride to get rid of the Bio books, there is not enough room for you expanding collection

like I said earlier the stuff is scattered where it is not suppose to be. 2 whole shelves on the Kriegsmarine plus 3 thick data books.
two shevles cover BC command specifically along with the LW Nachtjagd arm and 2 six inch through data file/books with personal interviews

for my own personal data-books to author the stuff is everywhere, the JG 301 and data files reside on one shelf and it looks like after peering over they are all going to fall all over the floor

Junkers88A1 · Sep 3, 2009

Erich · Sep 3, 2009

Either youre using a wide angle lens that is distorting things, or your bookshelf is buckling.

Well the book shelf wont buckle I made it, its made out of 12 X 6's. Its not the prettiest but it gets the job done. Each shelf is 5 feet long.

Jeez Paul! in your 6th picture down on the left are those Osprey and the JG53 books who publishes them?

The JG 53 books are published by Schiffer Military History. Its actually a 3 volume set but I currently only have 2. JG 3 books are published by the same company. The JG 300 books are published by Eagles Ediions LTD. The JG 26 books are published by Grub Street London. The small white books on the right are some of the osprey books I have in the 6th picture. This is an accumination of around 25 to 30 years of collecting books. I do have more in a book case down star's though I dont read those much. Mainly on modern day stuff around the 1990's. None of the pictures really show my research material either that I have in traper keepers.

Oh, how many plane manuals, books and what not are downloaded on you PC?

Well my secondary hard drive is almost full with around 75 gig of pdf books, aircraft manuals, military documents and data and I have around 100 RW cd roms full of more info.

Erich · Sep 4, 2009

Paul good show........... I'll take a full front view later of my largest of the library

the JG 53 volumes like all the major LW unit histories by Dr. Jochen Prien were produced through Struve Druck Verlag in Eutin, excellent and for me better than the English versions in both text and especially the pics which in the Americanized version are quite dark.

Thanks Erich, I would love to see your main collection. Ive thought about buying the orgial Priens books but not being able to read German really puts a handy cap on me for what the price of these books go for.
