Is this of interest to anyone??

[McGreig]

I didn't even know there WERE any WWI ones! Isn't the series sub titled 'WWII.......'?

Yes, there were at least five volumes of "Fighters" of WW1. Same publisher and format as the William Green books, but they were written by JM Bruce.

Used copies of Volumes 1,2,3 and 5 are currently on Amazon at prices ranging from £1.75 to £19.99. And somebody is offering a set of all five for £80!

I got the 10 of those last night for $20 USD.

Cheers,

I've 3 of them and as I'm away from home couldn't check the author, so sorry for any confusion Kit.

No probs Chris. Not being the world's greatest fan of aircraft with two wings and lots of string I had NO idea that the pocket books extended that far back. I still wish he'd finished the range off properly.

I have exactly one of those books, in the WWII fighter range.  I remember reading them all as a kid, borrowing them from the library and enjoying them immensely.   I have two of the larger ones he did on ""Famous Fighters of WWII" (which used basically the same format and info but in a larger book size).  I'd like to get more of the small ones on bombers and flyingboats/floatplanes but they are rather expensive nowadays.  I see there is a complete set on Bookfinder available from South Africa for $US180!

Memories  I've 5 of the larger ones (3 fighter and 2 bomber). They were presents back in the 60's from mum and dad at Xmas or birthdays. They are still well thumbed, fond memories

remeberance of the darleks.  watched it on telly, got the dvd, now its time to read the book

[The Wooksta!]

IIRC, the book expands on the TV version.  It was always considered to be one of the best of the range.  Been a long time since I've read it - at least twenty years - but it's a good one.

I've the original Target edition, signed by the cover artist and Sylvester McCoy.

[Kerrillc]

Whiled away the time by getting some e-books from the Smashwords site.

They are: The Whale Has Wings (an alternative history of the FAA).

HA-300 Messerschmitt's last fighter

and lastly Adolf Hitler and His Airship: An Alternate History
This last is described as a work of fiction, satire and parody.

I learned about Smashwords from the Alternatehistory website. There are some very interesting stories, articles and even picture threads.

In order to read the stories you have to be a member. Here's the address: www.alternatehistory.com

La Jeep Dans L'Armee Francaise, 1943-1954 by Paul Gaujac from the lovely Wendy at the Sword and Lance show today. 

[The Wooksta!]

Above Top Secret, Alien Liaison and Need to Know by Timothy Good

Secrets of the Unified Field,
Roswell and the Reich
Saucers, Swastikas and Psy-Ops
All by Joseph P Farrell.  I'm also awaiting his Giza Death Star trilogy with baited breath.  It's so out there mad that it must be worth reading for entertainment value alone.  The Roswell book was superb.
