..I'm happy with my copy of 'Med Air War' - 500+pages for £26 courtesy of amazon, but, as noted, (re-)issued via a 'mainstream' publisher. However I think Mr Shores in his own Foreword notes that the first person accounts in the book are mostly (all?) extracted from previously published memoirs...nor would you buy that book for the photo content frankly ( although I guess you might have done 40 years ago!). But not to get into any polemic...I think the point that is being made is that the JG 4 (& JG 2) volumes would have looked a little thin had the author relied on published accounts....(and/or photos...)
