Opinions Peter J.C. Smith's V-1/He 111 book?

[Marcel van Heijkop]

Besides the name of the author, there's more room for confusion as there are 2 different book titles for the same ISBN: From the web it appears that you can either have "Air Launched Doodlebugs: The forgotten campaign" with 243 pages or "Air Launched Doodlebugs: Hitler's V 1 missiles and III/Kampfgeschwader 3 and 53" with 224 pages. Both books were published in 2006 by Pen and Sword apparently. No idea if there are any differences between the 2 titles regarding the content let alone the reason for 2 books at the same time....

Chris, you're right: Besides the V-1 book, the author has written 2 other books on the air war: "Flying bombs over the Pennines" and "Luftwaffe over Manchester: The Blitz Years 1940-1944".

As I./KG66 was also involved in this campaign (marking the launch points for the V-1's over the North Sea) I'm still interested to see what the book has to offer (or not...).
