Re: JG 300 book
 

Haven't seen anything mentioned on Hyperscale as of yet/posted my own inquiry; but the Crandalls and crew may be enroute back to Montana ? give them another several days, the book should be just around the corner.....

Yes, I have a copy in my hot little hands. They bought 45 copies to Atlanta and they were all gone by Friday. The "pre-orders" are being shipped now.

It is an excellant, well-produced volume. It goes through mid-September 1944. Great stories, text and photos, most not previously seen. There are also, apparently, some new losses and claims not previously listed.

John ~ did you happen to see a copy of the special ed? (leather bound) if so what are your thoughts?

Re: JG 300 book
 

John I did not see one although I think they had one there. I'm too rough on my books to get one of those!

On the way
 

I just received email notification that JG 300 is on the way. Looking forward to it.

Re: JG 300 book
 

Well I arrived home and found a rather large and heavy box on my door step tonight!

Yes it has arrived!! book 17/300 and it looks and feels great - I cant wait to read this over my vacation which starts next week!

Re: JG 300 book
 

I took a quick peek and here is what I found.


It is a very heavy book with a dark leather ver embossed in silver. The book contains many many pictures of planes and their pilots including some very nice color shots! There are also many color plates, loss & victory lists...

Cheers

Hi everybody,


Just want to say that this book is excellent. Got the Docovia edition. For me it's the book of the year.

One thing that make me wonder is the big difference beetween Luftwaffe pilots Mustangs Claims and actual USAAF admitted loses.

Reading the introduction from the author does not answer the question : there is too much difference beetween claims and loses. And the first hand stories by the pilot stating the actual damage inflicted to the mustangs could not led to misinterpretation : These aircrafts claimed shot down could not have survived such damage in many of these cases...

So what the experts interpretation ?

Thank you for your answers

Laurent
