Fighter Command Claims

I will confess ignorance here (and perhaps lack of acuity), but I missed Foreman's volume 2 of his Fighter Command Claims for 1941-43. Question is, is there a 3rd (or 4th) volume in the works? Secondly, what is the difference between John's and Norman Franks' book?

Re: Fighter Command Claims

John,
Foreman's Volume 2 was published in 2005 by Red Kite, ISBN 0-9546201-5-1. I have no information as to the existance of further volumes. Red Kite can probably supply it, and it can also be found by searching addall.com.

Norman Franks' three volumes are on Fighter Command Losses; Jack's (two) books are the claims against enemy aircraft. Unless you are thinking of something else by Norman.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Re: Fighter Command Claims

Is Red Kite still around? A look at their web site shows a 2008 copyright.

Re: Fighter Command Claims

Ed,
I recently bought their 303 Squadron book, and The Last Blitz. I would have to guess that they haven't updated the copyright notice on their webpage.
The RAF Fighter Command Victory Claims books are both listed, at the end of their catalog.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Re: Fighter Command Claims

Thanks, Frank. I misread the Franks title! Old age gets us all.
