Hi Mark

Re Blenheims: both RAF and Greek, some good gen on both!

Re: Blacks in RAF Blue: sub-title is non-white aircrew; therefore I intend to cover not only black West Indians and West Africans, but also Indians in the RAF, Maori in RNZAF, Aboriginals in RAAF etc.

Hope they'll whet your appetite!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Is it 100% sure that "First of the few" will be published in april?
Who will publish Marylands over Malta?

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hallo Brian,

I look forward to acquiring those books you listed. Thanks for the updates.

However is there any news on Vol. 2 of 'FLYING SAILORS AT WAR' ?

Regards,

Martin.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Thanks guys for the interest.

Dominik: I understand Wise Owl of Malta will do the Marylands book. I will post latest info asap. The publisher of First of the Few states 16 April!

Martin: Regret delay on Volume 2 of Flying Sailors - it's more or less awaiting the publisher's decision!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

Latest update re FIRST OF THE FEW - publication date now 23 May.

I would point out that the cover illustration shown on Amazon is a mock-up, though the actual cover is similar, but better!

Although not mentioned in the blurb, the book includes FAA action against the French Fleet at Mers-el-Kebir and Dakar (July 1940), and details of the Italo-French conflict of June 1940.

I must knuckle down and get it finished!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Heheheh...whatever it was you were drinking seems to have helped; I feel MUCH better!

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

I thought that I would have nice read in April. Well have to wait and keep fingers crossed.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

I will be in Malta in a couple of weeks so should know more about the progress of MARYLANDS OVER MALTA.

Will advise asap.

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

I'm off to Malta tomorrow, so should know how MARYLANDS OVER MALTA is progressing - or not.

Will let you know more in 10 days time or so.

I will have a good time, thanks, what with all that warm weather (Zero C today here!) Our twin granddaughters will be with us (just 13) so will make sure I don't come to any harm!

FIRST OFTHE FEW draft has just been sent to the publisher - due out late May.

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

Just back from sunny and very warm Malta!

I'm afraid there is no positive news re MARYLANDS OVER MALTA, but stay tuned ................!!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

But the good news is that we have more books by Brian Cull in the pipeline and we look forwards to producing the very best titles in terms of authors, design, sales, marketing and distribution in the US and UK.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

Publication of FIRST OF THE FEW delayed for a week or so due to my delay in organising the photos section!

Apologies to one and all!

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Brian,

I don't know how you do all this. Have you cloned yourself several times over? But I for one am extremely happy that you can continue to publish these great books.

Many thanks,
Tom

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

At least my credit card will get a short time to catch its breath! :D

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

I'm reliably informed that FIRST OF THE FEW will appear in the next two or three weeks.

The problem has been with the printers, now resolved so I am informed.

Well worth waiting for!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Any news about "First of the Few"?

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Dominik and interested others ...

I understand that it is now available, although I've yet to see a copy!

Will confirm asap.

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Brian

I don't know how trustworthy are releasing dates on the Bookdepository site but I've just found that according to their site your book is going to be released on 15th October. But I hope your info is true. I'm looking forward to it.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Brian,


I just ordered three of your books from Amazon UK. Who is gingerkitty? :D

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Six Nifty

I've just mailed the books and have sent you an e-mail! Sorry, although your real name rang a bell, it didn't register!! Sorry!

I have to admit that 'gingerkitty' is me, but my close friends refer to me these days as 'WHOB' - which stands for 'White-Haired Old B.....d'

With appropriate red face
Cheers, Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Thanks Brian,

I look forward to reading more. I can't believe that eight years have passed since your first post to the forum. I've collected a few more grey locks myself. :o

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

For those who are interested in FIRST OF THE FEW, the publisher informs me that stock has now arrived from the printer - so copies should be available as from Monday.

I trust it will have been worth waiting for!!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hey Brian,

My copy of FIRST OF THE FEW arrived on Friday and it looks superb. Another fab job by Brian Cull and Fonthill Media!

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Great news. So now I must only wait for a note from bookshop where I ordered my copy.

So Brian, what's next?

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Dominik

My next book for Fonthill will be BLENHEIMS OVER GREECE & CRETE, due out March-May 2014, so not long to wait. It's very good!

Hi all

FIRST OF THE FEW is now out there so order your copy before its sells out and becomes a collectors item!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

I wish my FIRST OF THE FEW would attract just a little of the free publicity that Robert Dorr's 'Fighting Hitler's Jets' - whether positive or negative - has achieved!!

Out of envy!!
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Mr. Cull,
I just received your book, "First of The Few" this morning. Although I have only read the first two chapters, it's obvious that it maintains the high standards that we all know you will deliver. Thank you for all your work in producing another excellent book.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Steve51

Many thanks for your kind remarks - you've "made my day"!!

Happy Christmas

Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Excellent, I'm glad I made your day! It made mine when I received the book. I have finished it and enjoyed it greatly. I liked the chapters on the Italian intervention and the clashes over Swiss territory, as I knew very little about these events. Also, all the information on the Fleet Air Arm activities was appreciated. Thanks again.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Steve

Cheque in the post!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

LOL! Instead of a check, a second volume of "With The Yanks In Korea" would be greatly appreciated. Some publisher somewhere needs to support that work being completed.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

I'd heartily second that sentiment!

Regards, ...geoff

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Steve and Geoff

Thanks for your interest and support!

There is something in the pot - just depends on other commitments!

Happy New Year

Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

It appears that 'With the Yanks in Korea Vol 2' is underway (scroll to last paragraph):

www.aero-oz.com.au/about/regulars/newton.html

Start saving!

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Bruce and other interested parties

The intention is that Dennis and I will extract and revamp relevant information from Volume I and include it in Volume II, which will concentrate on British and Commonwealth activities at the expense of the USAF!

There will be a new publisher, so costs will be kept down, we hope, to the £20 mark.

Will keep one and all informed of progress.

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Thanks for that info Brian. I missed Vol 1 so am really looking forward to Vol 2.

Cheers,

Bruce

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Happy new year Brian !

Today I received The first of the few, the book seems very good (as always).

A the beginning of chapter one you write that the RAF lost 177 aircraft during the nine days of operation Dynamo.

Do you have the repartition of these losses by type of aircraft ?

Thank you very much

Alain (from France)
