Jagdfliegerverbände 10 / I

[Jochen Prien]

Gentlemen,

at long last I can now inform you that Vol. 10 / I of our JFV series is out. I have just received my set of complimentary copies from struve and they will start distribution right now. Again my apologies for the very long delay.

Regards

Jochen Prien

P.S.: For understandable reasons I will - after this experience - refrain from any definite announcements relating to publishing dates of the future volumes unless the publishing preparations have reached a point where nothing can go wrong any more. So all I can add at the moment is that Vol. 10 / II and III are in the process of final corrections and 10 / IV is about 80 % completed.

Looks like you've changed the basic format somewhat to suit the subject of strategic air warfare. Especially impressed by the many mission maps.

I like the shift in emphasis.

Hi,

In the last JFS Teil 10/I, the Prien’s team used prints from the Archives of Modern Conflict and Deutsche Wochenschau. Where are these files and how to browse them ?

TIA

The Archive of Modern Conflict is sudek13 and most other photos
of 10/I are well known.

The Deutsche Wochenschau are the German newsreels. These are available on DVD though a bit expensive. Also forgot who I bought them from. The set I have has 50+ films in 14 sets of 2 DVDs each. Google'em.

Thanks Jim ans Kormoran for your replies.

Dear Mr. Prien,

Congratulations for your fantastic book series.
I know that you prefer not to announce future publishing dates too early, but I wonder if you can provide an update on the status of 10/II, 10/III, and 10/IV.

Thank you
Regards
Marco

Dear Marco,
Gentlemen,

Vol. 10/II should be ready for printing by mid-February and thus be out by early to mid-March. It will comprise the "technical chapter" dealing with the a/c flown by the units of the Reichsverteidigung in 1943 and then cover JG 1, JG 3, I./JG 4, Stab, I. and II./JG 11, with the rest of JG 11 to follow in Vol. 10/III. This cut was neccessary to keep the two Volumes at about the same size.

Let's hope the this time nothing will interrupt the schedule.

Regards

Jichen Prien

What is the current status?

[Jochen Prien]

Dear Del,

the current state is, that the printer has announced the final proofs for the end of this week so that, given that there are no unexpected flaws, printing and binding could be completed by mid May. This again would mean start of delieveries second half of May. For safety reasons struve's have set the date as June 15th on their web-site, but they are doing their best to be out earlier than that. Hope this helps.

Regards

Jochen Prien
