Re: KG 40 Combat History
 

ED,
I confirm that the US Postal Services taxes are amongst the most expensive I have seen (the other one being Holland). Last time I purchased a photograph in the USA, they charged me US$ 15 bucks to send it to Brazil....more than the image itself.
Last time I purchased an image from Germany, 10 Euros with shipping fees, the Brazilian Custom Office charged me 60% plus other taxes (totalling 30 Euros) for setting the image free, saying am Importing foreign products! World is getting crazy nowadays and everyone wants to bite their amount...we, at the end of the chain, we do pay the prices, sadly.

Delivered at last. 84,500 words, 620 photos. Jury is still out as regards loss list format and/or inclusion

Re: KG 40 Combat History
 

For those who miss it on the Axis Wings thread, all has gone to the Editor who has checked all and that will be off to the designer next week. The hot of the Press news is it will include ALL KNOWN KG 40 accidents and losses (63 extra A4 pages and 27,000 words covering 522 aircraft 60-100% damage, 384 aircraft 10-59% damage, 1,623 aircrew killed or missing, 135 POW, 251 injured.

Wonderful news.

Re: KG 40 Combat History
 

Book delivered to Chandos Friday. Confirm that complete loss list of all KG 40 aircraft 1940-44 will be included. Soon as I have an on the shelf date, I will tell all

Re: KG 40 Combat History
 

Well done Chris. Surely another wonderful book of yours.
Happy to know that ALL losses were inserted. Most welcomed for most of us.

Re: KG 40 Combat History
 

Well done Chris - a must buy for me. Don't know which I am more excited about - the KG54 Vol 2 history or this one! Given yours is in english rather than French I might give you the benefit of the doubt on this occasion..... ;)

Re: KG 40 Combat History
 

Good news Chris but still nothing on Chandos website

Re: KG 40 Combat History
 

Trust me it will be!

Re: KG 40 Combat History
 

Hi guys - a quick update.
The book layout is done. I'm proof-reading, and finishing off translating the loss list from German to English. Once that's done (I'm 80% there) I'll send it to Chris for final approval along with any other issues. We can then get the list inserted into the appendices, and hopefully we'll be ready to go.
I'm aiming to get the book in shops / on my website / at distributors by early to mid February.

thanks and Merry Christmas / Happy New Year
