One more correction:

In the German edition, the time for victory 70 is listed as 08:42 (i.e. the same time as victory 69!)

According to the English edition, the time for victory 70 should be 08:45.

Twentyninesix.com shows that Julius Meimberg’s memoir will be available in English September, 2007 and a Lutzow biography in English will be available in January 2008.

I received my copy of Rall’s memoirs earlier this week – delivery in the US is prompt. The book is very nicely produced. I started reading and the translation is very nice. As soon as I finish the other four books I am reading, I’ll return to it. Maybe I can finish my "unread" stack before Meimberg's book is available.

I received the book a week ago, and it's really beautifuly published. Nice hard cover, thick pages, and a lot of photos. I finished reading it yesterday, and all I can say is that it's one of the best memoirs I read in a long time! Yes, it's not all air combat like Lipfert's memoirs, but every part of this book, including the post war section, is fascinating. I recommend this book to everyone. The publishers did a great job with it, and I can't wait until they release Julius Meimberg's memoirs, and the Lutzow biography in English.

Meimberg´s book should be very good! At least the Finnish edition is, apart from the cost cutting by the Finnish publisher (most of the notes in the original are left out) and the annoying commentary by the Finnish translator.

I received my copy last week and was immediately impressed by the quality of the paper and printing. A good heavy book with a hard cover. The photographic reproduction was very good and the quality of the translation was also very good, a credit to John Weal.

It took me less than a week to read and i was enthralled all the way through. Very well written and edited and considering the Armadio biography, this book was a vast improvement. Well done Kurt, a great book and a credit to Guenther Rall. I look forward to seeing the Meimberg book. All the best, David.
