Thanks again, Brian
I am trying to put together a table of claims to go inside my copy of Air War over the Med. Vol.2 by Chris Shores. These'll help me a lot. regards Keith |

Hi Keith
Volume 2? I don't think Volume 1 has appeared yet. Is Volume 2 being advertised? Cheers Brian |

Maybe Keith means Chris Shores' vintage 3-volume "Illustrated History of the Mediterranean Air War" (published by Ian Allan, I think).

Re: Shared victories in Italy 1943-44
Sorry guys, I wasn't clear.
It is indeed a very old copy of Pictorial History of the Mediterranean Air War Vol.2. It's to blame for all the hours I have spent poring over books to match them up. Brillliant photos and massively interesting text to go with it. If you ain't got a copy buy, borrow or steal one! ;-) |

Hi Nick
Are you implying that you are longer 'young' but also not 'broke'? I differ on the second statement! Cheers Brian |
