Redux: "The Men Who Killed the Luftwaffe"
Discussion
Hello Gents! Jay Stout here...I'm the guy you almost mob-lynched a bit more than a year ago because of the title of my book. Then I came on board and did some "fancy talkin'" until we were all hand-holding friends.
Frankly, you're an engaging and well-informed bunch.
Anyway, if you're interested, my publisher just released my latest book. "Fighter Group: The 352nd 'Blue-Nosed b
ds' in World War II." You'll note that the title, although very slightly naughty, is inoffensive and twists no one's nose. It's written in much the same style as the "...Killed the Luftwaffe" book but concentrates on only one fighter group. It follows the 352nd from its formation in late '42, through its deployment to England and combat ops against the Luftwaffe flying P-47s and P-51s. Lots of anecdotes, discussions of tactics and equipment, accounts of combat, personal reflections, etc. Although it covers the group as a whole it also follows some individuals in detail. 420+ pages, biblio, end notes, index and two photo sections.
Come to think of it...there might not be much to debate. We could pick on the font type: "Cambria sucks! Garamond rocks!"
Regards,
Jay

I'll look out for that, the 352nd is of particular interest for me (even have an Eastman Leather '352nd' A-2) Frankly, you're an engaging and well-informed bunch.

I also have a friend who has a similar interest in the 352nd, partly as he lives very near to where the old airfield used to be.

Is that Bill E? If so, I understand that he's been a great friend to the 352nd and the old vets. I've not met him, but he's obviously a good sort.I also have a friend who has a similar interest in the 352nd, partly as he lives very near to where the old airfield used to be.

That sounds like a good read Jay thanks for the heads up
I think it may end up on my bookshelf in time
Thanks for the interest Perdu. The publisher typically follows with e-books a month or two later if you swing that way. I think it may end up on my bookshelf in time
I don't understand publishing.
Or women.
Or HF comms theory (it's pure necromancy--I'm sure)!
