Re: Forthcoming books from Chris Shores
Yes NickM, you are getting ahead of yourself. At the Duxford Air Show, John Davies (Grub Street publisher) said, after checking with Chris and Giovanni, that he hoped that Volume 2 would be available at the corresponding Air Show in 2013. I think this is pushing it a bit; Chris seems to think it is doable. I might note that Volume 2 will cover the period February 1942 to March 1943 in the Eighth Army area (ie, Egypt, Libya, southern Tunisia), to the time when they met the Allied armies advancing from the West (which advance will be covered in Volume 3, which will go to May 1943). I will be handling the US (USAAF, USN) aspects of these and subsequent volumes, which is relatively small in Volume 2. I can add that we will endeavor to match John's plan, but it is only now starting to meet the enemy.
