Re: Reprint of unavailable books
Hello Alfred,
in French yes. I am finishing the redaction of the 4th volume of the JG 2 chronicle: the year 1943. French version. A great pleasure to write this book: the events and the personnalities are quite fascinating. If you happen to get this book in your hand, you will be astonished by the quantity and above all the quality of the photos, the informations... If you know my preceeding books, you know the important focus I give to the personnalities, from the newcoming inexperienced pilot until to the greatest aces.
But before this publication in French, there will be 1 in German: Vol. 3 of JG 2 (the year 1941) and 1 or 2 in English in the LuGa series.
No plans for a new reedition of JG 1 which has been published in several versions now.
Thanks for your comments on JG 4. When I researched for this book, I had the chance to interview almost all the unit survivors. Unfortunately, if I am not wrong, they all passed away now.
The same with all my other JGs book, but some veterans are still with us. Imagine: the so gentle friend Günther Scholz is now 102 years, and other ones like Erich Rudorffer and Walter Schuck (to only name the most known ones) approaching the century too...
You see, still projects coming along. With the documentation I amassed, I could publish books on JGs up to my death. Nevertheless, I plan to definitively stop in about 5 years to go deeper into another hobby.
Cheers
Erik
