Hi,
I have the book Dust Clouds in Middle East by Christopher Shores which includes a chapter about the fight for Iraq in May 1941 but I am looking for a book with complementing information especially about the involved Wellington and Blenheim units.
So far I have found the following books:
- Blood, Oil and Mastery in the Middle East, 1941 Robert Lyman – looking at the other books Robert Lyman has written I suspect this book is mostly focused on the army operations.
- Iraq 1941: The Battles for Basra, Habbaniya, Fallujah and Baghdad (Osprey Campaign) also by Robert Lyman – same comment as above.
- Hidden Victory: The Battle of Habbaniya, May 1941 A.G. Dudgeon – looks promising but seems to focus only on the No.4 Flying Training School.
I would be grateful for comments to the books above or recommendations for other books.
Thanks in advance,
Peter
