My Library just grew again......... 2022 edition

[loupgarou]

Recently I was looking around on internet for some photographic books that have no place here, but I found amusing this amazon review:

I bought this book for a 90-year old friend's birthday. Since it was shrink-wrapped, I was unable to ascertain whether it was suitable for him, but I understand he is recovering nicely from his heart attack.

Received from the Tank Museum

The Tank Museum: Churchill Tank, Vehicle History and Specification by David Fletcher

The Tank Museum: Cromwelll Tank, Vehicle History and Specification by David Fletcher

Both had been pre-ordered then delayed so my previous books from The Tank Museum were bought with a discount, these were bought as I have very little information on them and I like some information when I work on something.

A veritable treasure trove from WH Smith in Glos today. 

A Tempest bookazine on US Jet Bombers, another one on Supermarine Flying Boat Secret Projects, and it looks like it's first of a series as it's numbered '1'.

And lastly a wonderful photo album of the Lightning by Fred Martin. That's the REAL Lightning, the one with two engines, one on top of the other.....

From my local WH Smiths today

A bookazine on the Century Series American Fighters

I recently acquired the bookazines on AEC, post Second World War   and Bedford  British military vehicles:  fascinating.   It would be only too easy to spend far too much in W H Smiths (and other newsagents) on these bookazines.

I've been looking out for that. Will have to look in WHS at Waterloo station. I do know that Part 2 is Fighters and Bombers, due out end of July.

It is.

Don't ask me etc.......

If I'd have looked inside the back cover of the Supermarine book I might have noticed the big '2' there which describes the next volume, about fighters. I guess it may include the odd Spitfire.........

While on holiday in Canberra I purchased, "Empire of the Clouds" and "Operation Sea Lion"  second hand.  Both are being avidly read.

I shall be looking out for that at Waterloo when I pass through next week as well

Tell me about it

I have my copy of Supermarine Flying Boats and I think everyone else on the SIG table at Milton Keynes has had a read too 

It turns out that the drawing on p117 is incorrect and shows the same Merlin powered aircraft twice. The middle drawing should be the cover art model with Taurus engine and the cockpit in the wing support. No great problem as Ralph has provided the correct drawing over on Secret Projects.
