KG 40 Combat History

[Chris Goss]

It would be at least an extra 27,000 words

Perhaps a Volume 2 then? I am sick and tired of looking at screens. Reading books should be a distinct, separate activity.

Would it be possible to publish the loss list separately? I suggest a Luftwaffe im Focus type publication that would include additional photos that did not make it into the book.

that equates to an additional 54 pages per book, so imagine what that does to my bottom line... downloadable version is a possibility though, I'll have to think about it.

I'd rather buy a physical book. I am pausing downloading anything.

So would I, but for additional reference material (like a loss list) that I might want to refer to independently of reading the book, having something digital and searchable can be handy.

I concurr. I prefer to read novels on paper, but fact books I definitely prefer in digital format due to search function. Also, such books like AB serial books I would definitely prefer in form of databases, where I can quickly find desired information.

ED,
I confirm that the US Postal Services taxes are amongst the most expensive I have seen (the other one being Holland). Last time I purchased a photograph in the USA, they charged me US$ 15 bucks to send it to Brazil....more than the image itself.
Last time I purchased an image from Germany, 10 Euros with shipping fees, the Brazilian Custom Office charged me 60% plus other taxes (totalling 30 Euros) for setting the image free, saying am Importing foreign products! World is getting crazy nowadays and everyone wants to bite their amount...we, at the end of the chain, we do pay the prices, sadly.

Delivered at last. 84,500 words, 620 photos. Jury is still out as regards loss list format and/or inclusion

For those who miss it on the Axis Wings thread, all has gone to the Editor who has checked all and that will be off to the designer next week. The hot of the Press news is it will include ALL KNOWN KG 40 accidents and losses (63 extra A4 pages and 27,000 words covering 522 aircraft 60-100% damage, 384 aircraft 10-59% damage, 1,623 aircrew killed or missing, 135 POW, 251 injured.
