2nd Tactical Air Force Vol 2, Shores&Thomas

Yes, that's always a risk. However, you do have a couple of guides to help.

1. The publisher. In this case the prospects are good.
2. The authors. In this case the prospects are very good.

With this combination, the new 2TAF books have to be a pretty safe bet.

However, it is how your own particular interests have been satisfied by different authors and publishers that will bias your prejudices. Only time and experience will bring that, unfortunately, and unless you are very lucky you will pay for some disappointing books en route. This is where discussion forums such as this can be helpful, at least in avoiding real dogs! But in the end fifty esteemed contributors can praise a book, and it might not suit you.

Hey Graham,

What about the 'boxed' items - "Tank-Busters or Morale-Busters ?" and "The Cloak & Dagger Specialists". Don't they give a fair overview of some ground attack ops ? Do you really want a daily totalling of how many trucks, horse carts, etc were claimed each day ? The lists of losses indicate the intensity of the day's operations where these were in ground support.
