Hi folks!

Got my copy today and I'm impressed what Alexander has done here. The book is well layouted and full of interesting photographs I have never seen before. About the text I can't say too much as I got the book today. ;-)

Cheers, Simon

Delmenhorst, can you check it to see if II/KG26 lost a He 111 over the Black Sea on the 29May42 and who was the pilot? In a post there was one listed for the 30th but there was some belief it could have been posted on the 30th by a delay.

Hello Nokose!

The plane W.Nr. 7317, 1H+LM is listed on 30th! crew: Fw Walter Barbock (FF), Uffz. Josef Gmünd (BO), Obgefr. Friedrich Büschner (BF) and Uffz. Helmut Schneider (BS)

Cheers, Simon

Thanks Simon! I didn't see Barbock on the "Kracker" site, so if he was shot down on the 29th then he had an aerial victory that was never recorded because of his death.

Good evening,

Received my copy last week. Great book. Lots of unknown pictures (if not all!).
Kind regards,

Hallo Steve,

I ordered my copy directly from Alexander.
I'm not sure, but I think that it's available in a bookshop.
I will send a mail with your request to Alexander.
Kind Regards,

Dirk
