I'm clearing out some books, some will go to the local library or charity shop if no-one here fancies a read of them. Whats going is as follows: The Luftwaffe Album by Joachim Dressel & Manfred Griehl ISBN 1-86019-978-X The Nuremberg Raid by Martin Middlebrook ISBN0-304-35342-6 Eagle Against the Sun by Ronald H. Spector ISBN0-304-35979-3 The Recollections of Rifleman Bowlby by Alex Bowlby ISBN 0-304-35243-8 Sergeant Jiggy by John A. Walker ISBN 0-9534703-1-8 The last is a small scale publication of the memoirs of a Scotsman who was in the Gaurds during ww2 If anyone is interested you can PM me and I can post the books on. I have a feeling that SimonR, Ricky and Merlin may be interested.
Tank Rider Now read it for the second time and it's going too due to our usual lack of space. Tank Rider Into the Reich with the Red Army by Ivgeni Bessonov ISBN 1-85367-554-7 An easily read hardback book of the authors service in the Red Army from enlistment in 1941 to 1947. 1943 to Berlin on frontline service. IOn common with some other veterans accounts the writing is perhaps simplistic with many of teh authors phrases abd thoughs frequently repeated e.g. what can one do war is war or orders had to be obeyed. Nevertheless an insight into the soviet tank rider and his role, actions and woes (he seems to have achip on his shoulder about his [lack of] promotion). *Addition -also going! "The Great Ingratitude" - Bomber Command in World War 2 by James Fyfe ISBN 1872350 755 Hardback As before to GB or the EU and I'm not interested in payment either. Any takers?? PM me your address and I'll post it off to you. If no word by 15th their off to the local library.
Bump * note the addition to the above post. And once again (as Ricky will confirm) I am not looking for money, I would just prefer they went to someone in the forum who would like to read them.
I will happily vouch for Cholbert - he has sent me 2 lots of books now, and still refuses to even let me pay postage.
Cholbert, I for one would be greatly helped if you could post the years of publishing of these books - the more recent they are, the more likely they are to have some good information.

This is a great book, I'm reading the Polish translation and I love it. Not revolutionary to any extent but definitely worth reading. Number 5. seems nice and interesting but... Holy God! I've been looking for any version of it everywhere in my country and it was nowhere tobe found. Even in foreign language bookshops!
Is there sth wrong with me and my using this forum or does it really store PMs in the Outbox and send them to the addressees... when? When the log in?
What happens is that the system sends an email to the users aemail addressing telling them there is a PM. So you should recieve notification of my PM to you.
So I have. But my problem was: shouldn't the sent PMs be stored in the Sentbox rather than the Outbox. Well, in fact they are, with the exception of the one that I sent to you. You got it (proof: you replied), but it's still in the Outbox... Anyway.. nevermind All's well that ends well.
PMs should be in the Outbox until they are read by the recipient, after which they are moved to the Sentbox. The advantage of this is that you can still edit your sent PMs until the person on the other end reads them.
Airwolf The 2 books are now in the post to you. Should take 5-6 days to get to you as they were just sent via ordinary Royal Mail. Now before I take the rest to Oxfam is there anyone interested in them?
