Hello Alain,

The concluding volume in the Nachtjagd Combat Archive series, due to be published with Wingleader late next year, will be devoted to the Nachtjagd on the Eastern Front -in the first part of this volume I will present the history of the Behelfsnachtjagd with the He111, including claims and matching Soviet losses, personal stories from former aircrew and a series of previously unpublished (close up) photos of the He111 night fighters.

Cheers, Theo

Hello Theo,

Can you confirm that the due date for publishing these volumes is still near the end of this year?

Kind regards, Thomas

Hello Thomas,

This year, we will finish the NCA series for 1944 (I will finish proof-reading the 1944 Volume 2 covering mid-March 1944 till mid-May 1944, this one will go to the printers next Monday). Two more 1944 volumes will follow during the course of 2020. Then it's Rod Mackenzie turn for the 1945 volumes (est. at 3 in total due out in 2021, Rod has achieved an astonishingh depth in his 1945 NJ research and writing!), and by the end of 2021/early 2022 the final two volumes will see the light of day, this includes the Ostfront Nachtjagd vol plus a concluding NJ bios volume.

Cheers, Theo

Theo,

Where does the Mediterranean fit into this schedule?

This is a wonderful, amazing, even ground breaking, series.

Enjoy!

Frank.

I buy that one. Could you give a heads up when it is for sale?

[Theo Boiten]

Will certainly do!

Cheers, Theo

Hi Theo,

This may have been covered in a previous thread which I haven't seen, but can you tell me how many volumes there will be in total. Have just bought the first part of the 'Early Years' I understand the next instalment is due on 9th February?

All the best,

David
