Dresden - 13 February 1945 by Frederick Taylor.

Great book. I think he makes a very good objective story about the bombing of Dresden. It's not for the faint hearted, as it the story is of course harsh. But the writer shows the reader all sides of the subject, allied and german alike and let the reader judge for himself.

Not the best astronaut biography I've read, but better than most.

 

[Cota1992]

Interview with a Vampire By Anne Rice...
I have never read it and am taking a short break from non-fiction and I must say that it's much better than I thought it would be.

I only read fiction...

Right now its Earth, Air, Fire and Custard by Tom Holt

The Peloponnesian War by Donald Kagan.

Ernest Gann- "Fate is the Hunter"

I read it a couple of years ago. Great book! It really gives you some idea of what the early airline pilots went through. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm reading "The Command Of The Air" by Douhet (The 1942 English translation version)

 

[Njaco]

Ohhh, Doug, read some excerpts from that and its amazing that no one really listened to him much back then until history forced them to.

 

[Wildcat]

Beaufighters over Burma by David Innes

 

[Clave]

Just finished 'Incompetnce' by Rob Grant - pretty good.

Half way through 'The First King of Shannara' by Terry Brooks - awesome so far...

 

[Marcel]

"De mei vliegers" (The May pilots), book about the dutch pilot Jan Linzel who was born not very far from my place of birth. He flew D.XXI's in the LVA (the 215 in my siggy) and shot down a Bf109. Later he got involved in the resistance and after that fled to the UK where he flew Spitfires and Tempest V's.

 

[DOUGRD]

Ohhh, Doug, read some excerpts from that and its amazing that no one really listened to him much back then until history forced them to.

Yeah Chris, you're right. It's amazing, almost eerie.

Eco-81 How do you like the book so far? I've been tempted to buy it but I have other books on the Yanks in the RAF during the BoB so I've been reluctant to buy this one.

 

[Eco-81]

Dougrd, I am about 1/3 the way through it and am really enjoying it. I think it is well researched and written. He has two other books as well, as soon as I get throught the stack beside my bed I think I will pick them up.
