    The title of this book was so inviting that I happily welcomed it for a book review. The reading of it turned out to be an almost impossible task for me. Every page contains an avalanche of facts and references; soon I got stuck. No way to get through! After having taken a bit of […]

    This biography of Stanford Tuck was first published in 1956 and as a youngster who had a great desire to become a pilot I have read this book with red ears. Now 60 years later it is still a nice book to read for everyone interested in the history of WW2 and especially in the Battle of Britain were Stanford Tuck played a star role as a fighter pilot with 29 confirmed victories.

    Many books on Bomber Command have been published after the war about the efforts of the RAF during WW 2 and especially about Bomber Command that from the beginning until the end of the war harassed Germany with continuous night bombardments. This book is an nice exception because it was written by Leonard Cheshire a highly […]

    It is really unbelievable how detailed all air operations of the Germans and Allies are documented in this book including many black and white photos of crew members and plane types.

    Sometimes I am jealous of the British! (and sometimes also not, by the way!) But now I am, when reading this beautiful colourful book of Flight Craft; what an aviation history has been created in a couple of decennia! And here we are just talking about the 1945-1975 years that are described in this book. […]

    Terrorism is a word that we read regularly in the newspaper these days, but air terrorism was there since aviation started. Since 1968, when an El Al flight was taken over by terrorists, hijacking was a regular returning occurrence and the most spectacular ones are described in detail in this book.

    Nice book this is! It immediately draws the attention through her handy size with a Spitfire, in colour, on the front page. The book is a picture report of the RAF Westhampnett from the time of the Battle of Britain (from the 10th of July 1940 and which endured about 3,5 months) and later with […]
