My question at the Grub Street Publishing fb page.

"Are there any updates available for vol. 6 of Chris Shores et al's Mediterranean Air War ?

Update from Grub Street Publishing website!

A History of the Mediterranean Air War Volume Six update
By Anne Dolamore
13 September 2024

We are excited to announce that we have a provisional publication date of July 2025 for the next volume of our A History of the Mediterranean Air War series. Below is an update from the authors about the content for the next volume to whet your appetite.

“Volume Six will cover strategic bombing operations by the US 15th Air Force and the RAF’s 205 Group from 1 November 1943 to 30 June 1944 and the air defence operations of the Axis allies. The background to the development of the strategic bombing campaign in south-east Europe, earlier precursor operations and secretive special operations are also described.

This volume is in the same highly detailed format as earlier books in this series including exhaustive tables of claims and losses. Coverage of the bombing campaign from 1 July 1944 to the end of the Second World War will be concluded in Volume Seven. As with earlier volumes it is profusely illustrated with rare archive material relating directly to the text.”

Keep an eye on our social media as we will be revealing cover artwork for Volume Six along with further details in due course.

I feel certain that Mr. Dolamore is not attempting to take credit for writing volume 6, hence the inclusion of the word "update"
