Jan and others.

I fully agree with your comments. There will be an extensive prelude and scene-setting for the book in the first and each succeeding volume, including the development of airpower between the wars in each country involved. We don't just begin on Sept. 1, 1939, but put the war and pre-war aviation and air force developments in their contexts. We aren't, however, going to cover day-to-day operations for the periods and events prior to that date like we're planning to do after that date. The pre-war chapter (s) will include a great deal of pre-war photography.

And thanks for your help with both this, and your important contribution to one of the "Eagles over the Pacific," books through the great photo album that you've supplied.

Regards,
