Black Cross Red Star Vol. 3 - publication news

[Christer Bergström]

Hi Jim,

Don't worry - I won't get tired! Never with such supportive readers as you!

Black Cross/Red Star Vol. 4 is more or less completed, and Eagle Editions has promised to publish that one already by the end of this year. Let's hold our thumbs that the printer will succeed the first time...

Then I have a similar series for which I hae received contracts from Ian Allan in the UK: "Eastern Front Air War". Four volumes will be published:

"Barbarossa: The Air War": Due mid 2007
"Stalingrad: The Air War": Due late 2007
"Kursk: The Air War": Due mid 2008
"Eastern Front 1944-45: The Final Air Battles": Due late 2008

Those books have more of a "strategic" angle, while the Black Cross/Red Star series are more operationally focused.

Marvellous news Christer. The new series should prove to be a nice balance to the BC/RS series. May you forever be kept busy writing!

[Christer Bergström]

Thanks for your support!

May you forever be kept busy writing!

Incidentally, I have been more busy writing during the past six months than I have ever been before. Thanks to an understanding wife! ...and to all the great support from readers like you!

Sounds good! The BC/RS books are among the finest WWII books I have read.

Anything heard from the Crandalls re Vol 3? We should be getting close to publication all being well. I believe August was suggested as the new date.

Christer, the books "Luftstrid över Kanalen" and "Nattbombare" also look very interesting. Are they likely to be published in English?

Especially interested in an English version of Luftstrid över Kanalen. There are almost no books dealing with the Battle from the Luftwaffe side. It's almost always protrayed from teh British side, which is in many ways quite one-sided.
