Didn't Gallagher also author the "Meatballs and dead birds" book? If so then I would definitely be interested in that 5th airforce book. Do tell.
Jim, book came yesterday and I have to say I like it better than Meatballs and dead birds which in itself is a great book. The paper quality is better and the pictures are sharper and very detailed. The book is hard cover. There are lots of pictures I have never seen before and a few I want to do more research on.
Yes, the paperback copy of "Meatballs" suffers a little from poor paper quality and slightly grainy photo reproduction. I have a hard cover copy of the book and in that version both of those issues are nonexistent. So if it really bothers you, try and find a first edition, hard cover in the used book market. Also the hard cover has an eye catching camouflaged cover. Money well spent if you ask me, especially seeing that you can sell the newer one and recoup the purchase cost...or keep both like I did.
