Jagdfliegerverbände 10/III

Gentlemen,

I almost don't dare to announce that as of today Vol. 10/III of our Jagdfliegerverbände series has appeared in print and is now available through the usual channels.

It has apparently and unfortunately become a rule rather than the exception that we hardly ever meet the planned date of release owing to a variable number of unforseen reasons - this time it was the bookbinder and his lack of capacity for this job who was the last on the line to turn a planned December release into a late April one. One of the collateral effects is that some information in the addenda and correction section that is included in our book and which was due to be out late last year has since appeared elsewhere (which makes it look now as though we had been copying from others which we haven't).

Anyway, I hope you will be satisfied with what you get. We still have some organizational problem with Vol. 10/IV - Service in the West, 1943 - as the material is way too much for one volume, the text lone being appr. 600 pages. So may be we will have to make this 10/IV and 10/V rather than decimating the existing manuscript ( and the photographical section). Let's wait and see how our publisher will digest this information.

The text for Vol. 11/I and II - Service in the Mediterrannean ToW, 1943 - is almost complete. With that in mind we can try to catch up a little with the release of the next volumes.

Regards

Jochen Prien
