Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Haven't seen any new information regarding Jagdgeschwader 300 "Wilde Sau" - A Chronicle of a Fighter Geschwader in the Battle for Germany, by Jean-Yves Lorant and Richard Goyat, for some time now.

Any news from the publisher, Eagle Editions Ltd, or any other source?

:inlove:

Can't wait to complete the set!

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

They have moved the release date from Feb to March 2007. So hopefully not that much longer.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

I don't mind the waiting, just the not the not knowing bit...

;)

Thanks!

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

last I heard the index was being corrected..and then three months at the printers ..February, March, April ...all three dates appear somewhere on the EE site...

Richard might have more info..

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

The index is completed. God willing, the creeks don't rise and the Chinese New Year doesn't go on too long, March to April release and shipping.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Okay you guys...sorry to be 'late' in getting release date info to you. Finally did get the index up to speed and all of the color issues settled. (We work in RGB so when the profiles are finished we have to have them converted to CMYK so the printer can properly print the colors.)
The book is officially at the printers. Later this week we will get a temporary production schedule which I will post when confirmed.
Thanks for your interest in our book(s).
Don't forget, the Chinese New Year will factor in the production schedule (February) so Neil is probably right with an April date.
Ruy - did you ever receive the Red Cross Black Star #3 book? Haven't rec'd confirmation on that...
Cheers,

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Judy, Could you make sure that Amazon.com is up on this book and release so they want be saying it will be released next year.

Thanks

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Oh, sorry Judy.

Yes, Eagle Editions Ltd shipping is always swift.
Received the book within a week from shipping.

Thanks.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Another date for release has come up on EE. It now has May 2007 as the release date.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

These target dates at best seem to shift like the dunes in the Sahara.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Let's be a little patient, here. Does a few months really make any difference on a 60+ year old story?

According to Eagle Editions, the book is at their Asian printers and they hoped to avoid delays due to the Chinese New Year. This may have, indeed, delayed release dates.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Thank you for this John. You are right on! The book is at the printer now and the time table is out of our hands at the moment. Thing are delayed due to the Chinese new year but I understand from our last communication that they are working on our book.
Cheers,
Judy, Eagle Editions Ltd.

Hi John,

To answer your question, it certainly does. The French edition has been out for four years now. I could have been dead in the intervening years.

Anyhow, like a good little boy, I will await my turn. ;)

Stephen

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

..well to be fair the French edition appeared in Dec 2005 ...but you're right, Jean-Yves held off authorising the release of the French edition for a long time prior to that..

..still, I can safely guarantee that it will have been worth the wait..

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Visited Eagle Editions website and it looks like it has been pushed back to June. It's still worth the wait.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Amazon.com is now accepting pre-orders and they are listing a June 28 release date so not much longer.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?

corrections and additions on volume II JG 300 history
 

At first ... it's an fascinating and well done book. I think it's hard (or impossible?) to write an third JG 300 history. It's an book full of interesting facts and stories, in an excellent quality.

But from view of "Erla" I have to do some corrections and additions:

p.166
The designation "G-10/ASM" in the strenght box (or "G-10D" in the loss list) irritate because this wasn't an official designation. Maybe it was used in GQM lists but it had nothing to do with an factory designation.

p.194
The W.Nr. of the colour scheme is in contradiction to the description on p.204. Maybe it was inspired by the newest colour scheme of Mr. Poruba, maybe not .... fact is the W.Nr.151965 is correct. Wrong is the date "January 1945" because the pictures were taken in the End of March/ April 1945 at the earliest.

p.197
The W.Nr.491310 isn't "provisional" but in all probability wrong. The a/c had the features of an "late months 1945" produced Erla G-10 (tall tail wheel, great wing bumps) ...but the W.Nr.491310 left the factory in December 1944.

p.226
I doubt that's an G-14. Have a look on the "umbrella holder" - it's an typical sign of an Trop.-version and the G-14 wasn't produced as "G-14 trop.". I believe it's an old G-6 trop.

loss list

W.Nr. 150 742 was mentioned twice (01.02.45/ 03.02.45) both with 100 %

W.Nr. 191 167 was IMHO W.Nr. 491 167
W.Nr. 154 807 was IMHO W.Nr. 150 807

missing losses:

04.02.45
- W.Nr.150 747, III./ JG 300, crash during the start, later blow up by own troops, 100 %, airfield Märkisch Friedland

09.02.45
- W.Nr. 150 793, III./ JG 300, air combat, 100 %, near Wörlitz (maybe the a/c of Hptm. Fritz Lonzius ?)
- W.Nr. 150 874, III./ JG 300, air combat, 30 %, Stackelitz near Dessau
- W.Nr. 150 844, III./ JG 300, enemy fire, 30 %, Stackelitz near Dessau
- W.Nr. 491 268, I./ JG 300, crash landing, 15 %, unknown
- the a/c from Ofw. Franz Knoll I have: G-10, W.Nr. 150 799

02.03.45
- W.Nr. 151 541, III./ JG 300, air combat, 100 %, near Großenhain

(these only some losses I hadn't the time to check the complete lists in Freiburg)

wrong names of towns

05.12.44, W.Nr. 464 300 it was Burg Stargard and not "Stagard"
02.03.45, W.Nr. 151 554 it was Kranepuhl and not Kranepühl

the airfield was Amberg-Schafhof and not Amberg-Schäferhof

(I checked the Erla-a/c only and not complete)

G-14/AS (in the loss list):
I'm not sure if the W.Nr. 462 787, 461 993, 464 300 were G-14/AS because these a/c's not belonged to the official Erla G - 14/AS batches but .... nothing is impossible...

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

My copy arrived today in a potato sack with a squashed amazon box...
The book itself has only top right corner damage, but still im not happy about it :(

Its changed hands too many times in getting to me to even think of finding out who damaged it

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Not a correction, However the photo on page 306 of Vol II is captioned as being Karl-Heinz Dietsche.....According to his Son Joerg, This is not his Father in the photo. He is not sure at this time who is shown. Do any members have any Idea? A Photo of Karl-Heinz and his brother Horst Can be found on page 243 of Willi Reschke's book.

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

My both volumes arrived today in huge package...very appreciating Eagle Editions postal policy by maximal prevention from damaging these treasures.
And what a BOOKS!!! I am amazed. Nice work Mr. Lorant and Mr. Goyat!!!

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

Regarding los list (mentioned W.Nr.150 742 - posting from 10th August 2007):

Wrong is Uffz. Alfred Kuhnle (loss date 01.02.1945) with W.Nr. 150 742 because his machine was the Bf 109G-10, W.Nr. 490 226.

Hello John,

Re: Any news on Vol. 2 of JG 300, by Lorant & Goyat?
 

volume 1, p. 342:
caption "Ofw. Lothar Sachs pictured here in September 1943 at Pomssen on the wing of Bf 109G-4 'Yellow 29' of the Wilde Sau school JG 110, ..." is incorrect because the JG 110 was installed on October 15, 1943 --- to this date was it the BFS 10
