Speaking selfishly do pre-order:

From the horrors of being in a dinghy in Biscay to the heroism in the fjords of Norway and Atlantic Ocean and initiation over St. Nazaire Raid to dropping the French tricolour on the Arc de Triomphe - Heroes of Coastal Command is a gripping story.

Is there an online facility that converts aviation publishing dates to the normal calendar?

Unfortunately, Nick, therein lies the rub.

Now this is how it's done.

I work in the book industry and delays, like death and taxes, are inevitable. Hoping I'm wrong in this case.
