I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

After a fruitless walk around Croydon yesterday looking for something I ended up in Waterstones and bought a paperback copy of "Dunkirk - Fight To he Last Man" by Hugh Sebag-Montefiore in order to calm myself down a bit before the pub  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I have received my copy of Tony Buttler's book American Secret Projects:
Bombers,  Attack and Anti-Submarine Aircraft 1945-1974.

There's line drawings,  models and concept artwork throughout the book. Some of the designs I have seen before in other books and some of the whatifs I have built not knowing that they were dreamed up back in the 1950s/60s.
The book shows how the concepts are turned into the aircraft that we know or have known with alternatives and the almost nearly made it into production examples.
A good read for any whiffer with plenty of whiffertering to be done.
This should deplete my spare parts boxes, good old Mach2 kits I know that they would come in handy one day!

Read on Kindle Unlimited: The Vixen War Bride

Synopsis:
Quote
With the destruction of their home colony, Captain Ben Gibson and his Army Rangers have nowhere else to go.

Six months after humanity's victory in Earth's first ever interstellar war, a group of soldiers are tasked with running a convoy refueling base in a rural part of the occupied enemy world. When they arrive, they find the local village has been abandoned in anticipation of their arrival by the panicked residents. Fearing a possible humanitarian crisis, the troops have to go into the alien wilderness to find them, reassure them that the humans are not the savages they've been taught they are and bring them back.

And it won't be easy. They will have to overcome language barriers, a fearful and hostile population, cross-cultural miscommunications, almost no support from the Army, and their own demons to succeed. With no idea where to start, it looks nearly impossible until the sudden arrival of a dirty, disheveled priestess who confesses to a host of war crimes and demands she be executed for them.

Highly recommended, I read both the first and second book in one sitting.  The author is a retired USAF journalist with 3 deployments, and based the plot around an anecdotal incident that happened immediately after the surrender and occupation of Japan.
