Santiago,

take a look here:
http://www.abebooks.de/servlet/BookD...L?bi=256384870

However, VERY expensive

[Ruy Horta]

Note that there are two titles:

De Luchtstrijd rond Borneo
December 1941 - Februari 1942

and

De Luchtstrijd om Indië
Militaire Luchtvaart KNIL in de periode December 1941 - Maart 1942

They can be seen as respectively part one and two in a series dealing with the air campaign over the Dutch East Indies in 1941/42.

I have these and they are certainly worth a purchase, although mine are not for sale, if your are really interested I'll see what I can do for you.

I'll be back on this subject next week, I can probably get you at least a copy of volume one (focus on ML background, strategy and the Borneo campaign), perhaps with a little luck we can turn up vol. 2 as well...

Hello Ruy
thanks for the help, put this on hold I might be getting the Vol 2 (Ops.Dec.
1941 to March 1942) and the second O.G.Ward book that deals with the
KNIL 1945-1950, if the deal does not advance I will let you know.

Thanks
Santiago

Just a note, the difference between vols. 1 & 2 are not time period, but area of operation.

The first one deals with Borneo and the general back ground and strategy of the ML in NEI, the second part deals with Sumatra, Java and the other islands.

The Ward books are nice, but different in scope (not daily detailed coverage).

NP. on the hold

Thanks Ruy

I will keep you posted.
