Nachtjagd War Diaries

[Peter D Evans]

Neither are available for pre-order as far as I can see Ray. Both volumes were originally available but were withdrawn some time after with all pre-orders being cancelled. Since then both volumes are on a "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available" status...

Took a trip up to the Aviation Bookshop to pick up the two volumes. Although quite familiar with some of the content (I translated about 65 pages worth of vets accounts including Peter Spoden's moving & eloquent Foreword - that's not all of them by any means!) I was still hugely impressed with the sheer size of the two tomes (total of 750+ pages!) & the evident deep research therein. If pushed I'd say the four or five different font sizes make some of the pages look a little untidy at first glance, but only in places (claims info, text, pic captions, personal account side bars) while I guess Vol II is a tad short on pics (a few too many generic images from ww2images.com) but very text heavy. These are really pretty minor league criticisms though. The list of sources, contributors, bibliography and explanation of methodology are eye-opening. Considering there is little or no info out there for 1945 Vol II especially is a superb achievement. Looking forward to hours of browsing ahead ! IMHO book(s) of the year !

Gruppe,

Both books are listed in Ian Allan's Superstore.
According to this webshop the books are not yet published.
The covers shown are the old designs and both books are listed at £ 29,95.

I have an outstanding order and I wonder if they will become available.

Hi Erich,

Thanks for the link.

I checked with the Aviation Megastore here in Holland and they are offering both volumes at € 42.95 (~£36.50) each!
I don't know what the charges for international shipping are, but it I think they might be lower than the Red Kite offer of £25/£40 for international shipping for both books (which they are offering for £ 80.00).

All in all I think overseas customers might get a better deal from the Aviation Megastore. I have already placed my order and hope to collect the books this Saturday!

(By the way: I am not affiliated with the Aviation Megastore.)

cover rrp in the UK is indeed £40 per volume, signed copies available (authors+ 2 Nachtjagd veterans) via the Aviation Bookshop (Tunbridge Wells, Kent) who have a 20% discount/signing day on 6 Dec for personal visitors.

Hello all,
Received my copies for Christmas. I am hugely impressed with the depth of information in both volumes. These volumes have filled a massive hole in published information on the night war in Western Europe.
Regards,
Andy
