Couldn't agree more masmith. My best friend Steve brought it over last summer and had to leave it here. Superb book. What an incredible guy. Those Eagle Sqadron lads were mens men! And so many incredible adventures :o All told with great humour.
Due to the passing of Neville Duke however I'm re-reading his War Diaries at the moment. And the wife has just returned from three days in Budapest armed with two new Terry Pratchetts for me so they are next 8-)

Just finished Dale Brown's Dreamland Series - End Game

I've loved Dale Brown's books for many years now and recently re-read the entire Dreamland series which I like the best.

The Dreamland series is an excellent series if you're into high tech weps and aircraft.

"Lives of low value" (Freely translated) from Norbert Hannig.

Narrated from the first person, the book covers everything from the beginning of his flying career in 1940 in the Hitler youth, his flight traing in 1941/42 and life in the Luftwaffe from 1942 till the end of the war, with lots of flying in 109s, 190s and 262s.


Nicely narrated (straightforward) and always trying to brighten things up a bit in a world in which his friends and comerades did like flies.
It's amazing how numb someone can get towards death.
