Does anyone have it? I need to know about one small anecdote in it.
When is the second volume supposed to come out?

I'm seriously thinking about the ebay one

though I wont be able to buy food for a few weeks... I can live off $.25 burritos for that long right?

Somewhere in that book there's a part about an overall red-orange Ta152. That's all I'd like to know about.. No need to quote it, I'd just like to know what it says that could help with doing a skin of it for Aces High.

Too late, I bought it already! Will let you know how it is.

Buy the amazon one, eat the 99cent generic pepperoni pizzas, save the boxes for breakfast, the have roughage and essential inks for vitamins.

Get it from Crandell himself. $85

or get the leather bound version signed by 9 190D9 drivers for $175

I have the two JG 300 volumes. Well worth every penny. Photos and artwork are amazing. They weren't by Crandell but they're from the same bunch.

Guppy have you seen any 152s not painted in the usual colors like the ones we have in the game now?
There's supposed to be a passage in JC's book about a red-orange 152, do you remember that?

Wotan · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2008, 06:47:23 AM »

The JG 300 volumes are by Jean-Yves Lorant and Richard Goyat and translated from French to English by Neil Page (aka FalkeEins).

His website is here:

Kaczmarek - A German view of the air war 39-45.

Neil Page. Jerry and Judy Crandall post over at TOCH

There is a thread over there discussing the Fw 190 Dora vol. 1 book - nothing about the colored Ta 152s moot asks about. I have the book on order but haven't received it yet - a lot of folks seem to be impressed with it.

Those concerned with 'price' remember hobbies are expensive.

I don't have the new Crandell book on the D9. Based on the description there isn't anything on the Ta152 in it though as it's limited to the D9 series in both volumes if their website is accurate.

I have the Dieter Hermann book on the D9, but nothing in there either.

I have a profile of a red-chinned Ta152H, scanned from the pages of a book some time back, but it didn't say anything about it (it was a brief mention of the 152).

I'd love to know if there's more to suppot the existence of this plane, as I've posted the profile before and nobody's knowns squat about it.
