I'm trying to gether together sources to expand the wikipedia article on the PIAT, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot on it. I've gathered...
I've read it, and it's awful. For crying out loud, the author creates this mythical operation called 'Plunder-Varsity', which never existed....
Oh god, no! Don't trust anything in that article! It's awful, cited mostly to dodgy websites and a flaming tv documentary. I've been meaning to...
Thanks, AM. I saw that online and was really tempted, but it's so flaming expensive. I'm thinking of going down to the Airborne Museum at Duxford...
Wtd, thanks for the website, I'll take a look. AM, which in your opinion is the better book?
Ahhh, I recognize the cover of Without Tradition, my library has a copy; I'll go and liberate it as soon as possible!
Hmmm. Well, I'm currently reading Phil Nordyke's Four Stars of Valor about the 505th PIR, and I'm on the chapter about Normandy. During the...
Cheers, airborne medic. I just ordered Wings of the Wing by Peter Staines, which seems to deal with Tunisia in some detail. I'll look up...
Blast, looks like that's a no-go, can't find it anywhere on Bookfinder or other book sites. Thanks anyway.
Howdy all. I'm working on a wikipedia article on 1st Para in North Africa, as it's an area that isn't covered there as of yet. Now, I have...
I think that's about right; given the insanely small amount of time Montgomery gave his subordinates to plan and execute Market-Garden, 1st...
Ah, wonderful! Cheers for that, I'll have a bash at it after dinner.
I'll try and post a pic of my Valentine in a minute, but I need some quick help. I've painted the whole tank and added the decals, but the tank...
That really is wonderful Joe, thanks - very helpful of you. When I figure out how, I'll post some pics of my Valentine for 'comparison'!
Me and the g/f just finished building and painting an Italieri 1/72 scale model of a Valentine Mk I (My god, it took ages!). Now, of the decals...
Buckingham's book on D-Day says nothing about RMs being chosen prior to the American Rangers, and can't find anything in Hasting's Overlord either.
Juoain Jackson - France: The Dark Years is an excellent study of occupied and Vichy France. Quite academic, but a damn fine study. The prequel to...
Yes, this is a nice little forum, I'm glad I found it. Now, if only I could afford Deane-Drummond's book, I could expand the article a little, and...
Cheers, the both of you. That pdf is going to be useful, I've used Warren's airborne studies from Maxwell before in other wiki articles. That book...
Greetings, all! I'm an editor on wikipedia specializing in WWI airborne articles. Now, I've worked on most of the major operations - Tonga,...
