Re: Mr Christopher Shore's new project

Guys

Just to put this thread in perspective.
In 1969 two books carrying a really heavy impact were published. Two books that in my mind changed the whole perspective of what could be done regarding publishing aviation history of WW2

I had myself basically started my own interest in aviation history at the time and still remember stepping into Beaumont Aviation Bookshop (first visit) in 1970 spotting Francis Mason's Battle over Britain and bying it straight away, not believing my eyes. Later the same year I bought Shore's Fighter over the Desert. I would say these two books more than anything has formed my interest in life. Forty years later they are still valid and referred to on this site!

Shores was at the time roughly 30 years of age. Has really 40+ years gone by already? It seems not so long ago really. I think Chris more or less thinks the same.....

Cheers
Stig (unashamed admirer of Christopher Shores' books)
