Thanks for the kind words. (Different words can be seen on the
AVG association's message board.)
New stuff: most readers wouldn't notice, but there's lots of it. My best find was to discover how many planes Jernstedt and Reed destroyed at Moulmein in their astonishing raid of March 18. (Quite a few, it turns out.) This information wasn't available in the 1980s but has since come to light. The book is also a lot more precise on AVG victory credits, thanks to the work of Frank Olynyk, which I didn't learn about until after the book was published. And so forth.
Photos: up to the very end we'd hoped to exploit a collection of unpublished photos that had been promised to
Air & Space magazine. Alsas, the owner sold them to a private collector who apparently intends to keep them private.
