got it. You knocked the top three books off my list, so I will save up for that one! Should be able to get it in three or four months. Depending on the price of course.

31 copies used.  Cheapest is 6 bucks :)

Best site out there for chasing down aviation history books.

That website should play the "Hallelujiah Chorus" when you log in.

Only place I've been able to find "The Look of Eagles", and got it for $20 plus shipping. :aok

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Tried to find it for years and boom, there it was.

Too early for that one yet.  Gotta start you out with more general 4th FG info  before you take that one on :)

Do you know who Johnny Godfrey was?  If not, we'll need to educate ya a bit more :)

I think between Treize, Fencer and myself, we have all the 4th FG info you can find.

Terror in the Starboard Seat is what got me started on this whole Mosquito lark.

Give yourself an evening where you don't have to do anything else - you will not put that book down.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
