One of my colleagues at work today looked over my shoulder as I was reading it on my lunch break and exclaimed 'this is just Penthouse for planespotters, isn't it, Bob?'. See what we're up against.
That's funny that is!
Great looking book!
Stuart Templeton I may not be good but I'm slow...
Picked this up in The Works for a fiver. I like his style of writing non fiction, his fiction books are a bit of a 'boys own' romp but so long as you don't want a Dicken's novel they're good.
This was my latest read and an AMAZING read it was. Truth be told its the second time I've read this and it sends chills up and down the spine every time.
Last month I completed the 5 book series, ARMOR.
This book series chronicles the journey of a tank crew from North Africa to Berlin. Authentic, action packed and filled with flawed, tough men of WWII. This book depicts the horror this crew and the rest of the third armor division faced throughout the war.
I got this one for my new Poland 1939 project, and it seems pretty comprehensive.
There's nearly everything you want for the Polish Air Force in there, including some rather tidy colour plates. A lot of it is before the period I intend to build, but I'm still happy with the book.
Overhead a rainbow appears...in black and white.
Current Projects:
Aircraft of VMA-542, USMC
Peru-Ecuador War 1995
THK 1939-2023
Polish Air Force 1939
Got these in a sale:
Pirates because I'm interested in what really went on not Hollywood's version though I'm partial to a good pirate film and Canaris because he's interesting a patriot but seemingly ( I've not started it yet) anti Nazi.
