  1. Another great book on the Burma campaign is the third volume of mr Chris Shores's trilogy, Air War for Burma, published by Grub Street. The first two volumes are Bloody shambles 1 and 2, speaking about the air campaign of late 1941 / early 42 in the Philipines, Singapore, etc...

    These two were written with mr Isawa and Cull.

    If you get them, you'll find Buffaloes, or Hurry over Singapore quite useless, as nearly everything in those books can be found already in the Bloody Shambles serie.

    I can also back up Mohawk over Burma, a great book, but quite difficult to find.

    Anyway, a big thanks to everybody for all those books to buy ideas.

    I've also bought this one recently, and my question is:

    Is there a dedicated site to this panzer on the net, or in general, a web page about British armoured cavalry?

  3. Shot from an American carrier I believe :o

    No, it was done during a family day, aboard our (only) PA, the Charles De Gaulle (You know, Churchill's best friend :analintruder:).

    It was pre-planned, even if I have to agree that it was a little foolish...At the time, there were less than 12 Rafale in our Aéronavale (Fleet Air Arm).

  4. Too bad you didn't ! I would have borrowed it ! :evil_laugh: I don't go in that shop so often, as I find their pricing a tad on the obscene side!!

    Yes, you're right.

    It was my prefered book shop BEFORE internet. But now that I'm again near Paris, I go there from time to time, sometime just to get some ideas on new books.

    Stéphane, if one of these days you happen to pass in the Maison du livre aviation (8eme arrondissement), just check this book.

    Not exactly a modellers book, but I think it could still be very useful, as there are many photo shots included.

    I've nearly bought it three days ago, but I've changed my mind at the last minute.

  6. I am happy to be corrected, but I dont think thats true - Harriers were lost on the Atlantic Conveyer when she was hit with an Exocet (Thanks France :w***: ) and a couple were lost in accidents/bad weather. I'd love to know more aout Harrier losses in 82 though.

    You're welcome!

    :)
