Re: Serbian Air Force Memorial

Aleks has, together with Ognjan Petrovic, again produced a very interesting book about a very little known (by me) subject.

In my opinion the book's great strength is with the photos which covers the time fram 1911-1941, and while the text is interesting, it basically deals only with the period up to the end of WW 1. This has its limits due to the text being mostly a memoir in disguise. Its main drawback of course is that you want to know much, much more about the period 1919-1941.

It should of course also be remembered that Boris Ciglic published his excellent Wings of Serbia, dealing with the period 1912-20 back in 2009 and I find Aleks book an excellent complement indeed. I can fully recommend anyone interested to buy it! (And also talk to Boris and try to get his book as well!)

Now having said that, when do we get the next story about the time I am most interesting in, 1919/20 to 1941?
A combination of talents perhaps??

Cheers
Stig
