Didn't Giles end up doing a cartoon following a family and life in everyday blue collar England?  The holiday ones were funny as hell.

I have that one, is indeed very good. There was some talk of Andy Bird doing a Second Edition, putting in all the stuff the publishers omitted from the first - is there any mention in your book along those lines? I'm tempted to order a copy, but it makes little sense if it's the same one I already have.
The one I have does not say much. The only mention of updats is:
"This revised and updated edition first published 2008"
In the usual page of copyrights and ISBN details.

... 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

Used to have a stack of Giles annuals. There always seemed to be about 37 things happening in each one, all wicked funny.

yeah i used to love looking through them as a kid at home . there is one war cartoon that was real event , you see a load of flyboys running towards a naffi  shouting "COOKIES" .   He was at an airbase when a lancaster crashed on takeoff with Cookies and 1000lber on board . The crew survived and stopped all the rescue trucks ect going near .   Every one found it funny how they all ran to the naffie shouting cookies as if they crashed because the biscuity treats were on offer .
