Hi fellas -

I must have been under a rock as I only recently became aware of the excellent Bishop & Hey "Losses of the 8th and 9th" series. Through the miracle of the Internet I have Vol II in hand, with Vol I enroute as we speak. Excellent, excellent, excellent! I'd rate this scholarly work up there with Frank Olynyk's series on aerial credits as the most important works in my library.

I checked the East Anglia books site, and I don't see Vol III listed. I believe some of you know the authors personally - any rough guesses when we take up with April 44 onwards?

Cheers!
Wade

There are mistakes in Vol 1 if you slowly read every little detail you will find about a dozen. An example would be listing 5 as pows and only 4 are checked off. Am looking forward to vol 2. Its my 50th birthday present to me presented from mom and dad.

You are correct, not that many used in the ETO; only a few of them. Most likely those only served during 1944/1945. Was trying to find out that in particular, and serials of course.

Regards,

Benno
