That's great news!

Thank you for all the hard work in getting this from desk top to press to print.

As the book is so big, there are bound to be errors (not deliberate!) hence I intend producing an errata list on 12 OCH in due course

Ordered an example via the Aviation Megastore in the Netherlands. I am surprised it is already available there. I am especially interested in the Soesterberg period of KG 40.

My copies arrived today and will admit the quality of printing looks good.

3 corrections already:

Page 171 column 1 penultimate para change 890 Sqn to 881 Sqn
Page 172 caption change 890 Sqn to 881 Sqn
Page 300 5 Feb 44 change Karl Lederer to Anton Leder

Such things will creep in!

Glad everyone is enjoying the book! It's selling super fast, over half of the print run in a week so don't sleep on this, get your order in!

I am just about to order it.
However, I am always a bit bemused that when postage charges are added, it is always cheaper to buy a Chandos book from a bookseller rather than direct.
As these sellers are presumably taking a cut of the purchase price, surely you would sell more yourself by doing free postage, or at least matching the £2.50/£2.99 that others charge.
Or am I missing something?

My copy of Chris Goss' wonderful new book, KG 40: The Luftwaffe's Multi-Roll Strike Wing, 1940-1045 arrived today in south Georgia, USA (near Savannah).

Kudos to Mr. Goss and Chandos Publications for bringing this new history to a wide audience.

The book arrived in perfect condition (even the corners!) due to excellent packaging - it was double-boxed and within a plastic bag. Thanks to Royal Mail and USPS for the prompt delivery.

Looking forward to begin reading it tonight.

It would be good if you could come back and post your reactions once you have read it. (I realise it might take a while to finish!)

And of course the same is true for other members and the various books they’ve said they were pleased to receive recently.
