Nachtjagd War Diaries

Today I went to Telford and purchased both volumes of Theo Boiten's new book 'Nachtjagd War Diaries'

First impressions are very good. Both volumes are extensive and heavy! Content and quality of photographs are very good. From the small sections I have read they are detailed, and time will confirm that its contents are thorough and accurate.

I look forward to hearing other opinions as the book's circulation increases. Well done Theo!

David.

Re: Nachtjagd War Diaries

I did the same David, equally impressed with the "weight" of the books in many senses and their quality both in content and production. Other responses, photos etc here:

It was a great pleasure at last to meet and chat with Theo and Rod, not to mention Peter (I owed him 20 euros!!) and Rolf.

Regards
Max

Re: Nachtjagd War Diaries

Hi David,

firstly, it was a pleasure to meet you at Telford, and I hope you enjoy the books.

'just a little note with a correction in volume 2, page 337: the sentence that starts, "Oblt. Kretschmer..." and also the subsequent I./NJG4 experiences report should actually appear on page 334 before the last paragraph. This was something that I fortgot to correct during proofing (a damning oversight on my part).

Anyway, for anyone interested in obtaining signed copies of the volumes (signed meaning by ex-Nachtjagd pilots Peter Spoden and Rolf Ebhardt and the authors), you can contact Simon Watson of The Aviation Bookshop in the UK -

Congratulations Rod, seems that Mr. Spoden nd Ebhardt are not less in "shape" than you, pretty dangerous activity hunting at night but make good old boys
