Re: Air War Over Greece 1940–1950: British, Dominions and United States Air Arms

Agree with the marketing part. By the way one of my brothers offered me last Christmas a book bragging to describe some so far unpublished secrets of WWII. It was actually a reprint of a book I bought in the late 1990s, with exactly the same content. While last millenium, Ultra was a new subject, I won't say so in 2026.

I will add to the list of books "Armed Rovers". It covers anti-shipping operations of RAF Beaufighters in the whole Mediterranean, but roughly half of the book is in the Balkans area.

What will be unique for me will be to have the Greek campaign of 1940-1941 described with the format of the "A History of the Mediterranean Air War", with detailled losses for all sides. While this serie has more errors than I would like, it oftens provides data that are not available elsewhere, especially regarding Italian units. But given the title of the book, it seems to focus on RAF and USAAF, that are well covered elsewhere.
