Brian
I've just started reading "First of the Few" and one info at the beginning is interesting. Is there ogoing to be Volume II of the book?

BTW. Just have finished "Fighters over Aegean" - superb book.

Cheers!
Dominik

PS. I've found one mistake. GC 1/145 was not French unit. It was Polish. And, AFAIK, the sole unit using Caudron 714 in combat.

Hi Brian,

How imminent is imminent?
Any date yet for MARYLANDS OVER MALTA?

I am really looking forward to read this book. Your effort to cover planes and campaigns that are mostly forgotten is praiseworthy.

Cheers,
Peter

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys

Thanks for the kind words - most encouraging!

I have just been informed that 'Marylands over Malta' has at long last gone to the printers, so it should appear imminently! Will keep you informed. I haven't a price yet, but should anyone be interested in a signed copy please let me know.

'Blenheims over Greece & Crete' is with the publisher and March is indicated for publication.

But 'Bill Lucy, FAA Ace' has been cancelled for lack of suitable material. Apologies.

I am currently working on 'Air War over the Arctic' 1941-42 covering the British/American aid convoys to Russia, and the Russian/British defence of Murmansk, the main port of arrival. Early 2015, hopefully, for publication.

Phew!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Thanks Brian,

I see you have no problems to keep yourself employed. Is there any hope that we will see Vol 2 of FLYING SAILORS AT WAR within the nearest years?

Cheers,
Peter

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Peter

I'm afraid that the publisher of Flying Sailors at War is not interested in doing Volume II, so we have negated the 'contract' and I now have full rights, in which case I hope to 'do' something in the near future since the manuscript is almost finished.

Might you be interested in publishing it, Peter?

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Brian,

Unfortunately I am not working in the publishing business. I am just an amateur researcher for moment digging deep in the combat claims by air gunners and with the speed of my work this will keep me employed several years.

Anyway I hope you will find a publisher who is interested.

Cheers,
Peter

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Brian,

In one of my old favourites Hurricanes over Singapore I read that a sequel was planned: Fighters over Darwin with Dennis Newton as co-author. Is there any possibility that this book will be realised? It would be really interesting to follow the pilots who escaped to Australia from Java.

Cheers,
Peter

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Peter

Thanks for reminding me!

I don't think this will now come to fruition, but one never knows ....

Cheers

Re: New books by Brian Cull

Cheers
Brian

Were will it be possible to buy 'Marylands over Malta'? I can not find it on the web.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Brian
I know you're probably quite busy but wondered if you had any update on the Maryland and the Blenheim titles, both of which I have funds allocated for :).
Thanks
Mark

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Mark

Thanks for the interest.

As far as I am aware, BLENHEIMS over GREECE & CRETE should be available as from 10 May.

Re: New books by Brian Cull

I have just received a few advance copies of BLENHEIMS OVER GREECE & CRETE - Fonthillmedia have done an excellent job and I am sure all interested parties and prospective buyers will be more than satisfied with the result.

Place your order NOW!

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

My copy just arrived in the mail today. Looks impressive after a quick flip through and I can't wait to get stuck in. Kudos to Brian and everyone who worked on it. Looking forward to future works.

Thanks

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi guys,

I just finished reading of Blenheims over Greece and Crete. So many new and so far unknown details about RAF Blenheims in Greece. Don’t miss this excellent and masterly detailed book.

I highly recommend it!

Thanks guys

Your comments much appreciated.

Contrary to Amazon.usa blurb - the book does not cover only 30, 84 and 211 Squadrons, but all those involved including Greek and Yugoslav.

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

My copy arrived yesterday. I hope to find time to start reading soon.
Brian what's next?

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Hi Dominik

Hope you'll enjoy!

Next available will be MARYLANDS OVER MALTA - already with the publisher, just awaiting my allocation.

Cheers
Brian

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

G'day Brian,

'Blacks in RAF Blue': is this still in the pipeline?

'Air War over the Arctic 1941-42': ditto

Cheers,

Bruce

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Apologies for digging up an old thread...

Was Air War Over the Arctic 1941-42 ever released?

I've had no luck trying to find anyone with a copy for sale online.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Steve, no it hasn’t been released yet. Brian is going over additional material that had come to light and so it might be a little longer.

Re: New books by Brian Cull
 

Thank you Nokose!

I can certainly wait longer! One of my grandfathers was in the merchant marine and sailed in one of the Murmansk convoys, hence my interest.
