Jim -

Looks like a very comprehensive work, please let us know about quality when you've had a chance to digest it some. Always looking for more good references to support the powers of the "Dark Side". Any ideas on US sources for this? Thanks,

I just ordered the Mig book as well. It ended up costing me around 44 pounds. The problem is that is since I get paid in dollars, that converts over to $75. Ah well I am sure it will be worth every penny.......hopefully. Happy New Year.

Thanks ever so. Looks like I've found a place to spend some of that Holiday "overtime" pay. Time to expand the library.

I did much the same thing and ordered myself JJF's Panzertaktik for a late Christmas present. Fortunately I don't have a SWMBO to point out the craziness of buying a book for nearly $100 - then again maybe I'm not that fortunate....

I find that SWMBO isn't nearly as upset with me buying books or tools as she is models. Of course I'm never foolish enough to tell her what I pay for something. :-)

Jim:

That looks like a magnificent reference book. Sounds like you have everything including the kitchen sink in it. Excellent, now I can pick your brains / references for needed details :-)

Great pick up Jim, the photos are mostly new to the public, having been taken from archives in eastern europe. If you are a fan of Panthers and Swimmwagens, this one is for you! It's rare I fork over $100 for a book, but this one is an exception....
