Hi Ed,
Thank you for having pointed out this release.
I am very excited about this book. It has been a tremendous work to achieve this volume. Several hundreds photos, most of them never seen before, many first hand accounts, new documents, tables, map… as usually for "my" chronicles.
I wanted to precise something regarding your sentence "there are no plans to produce an English language version". In fact, I really would like to publish such one. So, let's say "no schedule" rather than "no plan". Honnestly, the sales of volume 1 were not satisfying and I have to sell many more to be able to produce the volume 2. So, I really can not confirm that this volume 2 will come soon in English and I feel sorry about that, first of all for the enthusiast who bought the volume 1… and for Neil Page who is nearly ready with the translation.
By the way, I am also pleased to inform you about the release of Luftwaffe Gallery (LuGa) #3. You can have a look on my web-site
www.luftwaffe.be.
Both books, as well as all my other books, can be purchased directly from myself since I am an independant man: I start researching the veterans, interview them, write their memories, research in the archives, make the book lay-out, contact the printer, store the books and finally go to the post with your parcel... Exhausting but exciting.
Best regards
Erik
