I have completely devoured this one.. probably because I have been in love with Paul's Boutique and its mystique/genius for the better part of a pair of decades."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

Welcome back
Have your read "Black Thursday" by Cadin? It is the story of the Sept 14,'43 mission to Schweinfurt that ended deep penetration missions into Germany until the P-51 became widely available. If you haven't I would recommend it. I also liked his "Fork-Tailed Devil"
Also are you reading the complete "History of Naval Operations" or just selected volumes?Last edited by happyone; 12-03-2009, 01:14 PM.

Right now I am reading selected volumes of Morison (thanks to the Internet I can now find copies to buy!).Last edited by Flattop; 12-03-2009, 01:34 PM.Col. Klink: "Staff officers are so clever."

I knew that, I guess this is what I get for relying on memory
