Great book, and thanks again Dan... how's the little one doing?

He's six now.  Growing like a weed.  And he's an uncle as my daughter had our first grandchild.  He's another cartoon pilot in waiting

I trust yours are doing well also?  Scared to ask how old now?

Good to know, it wasn't clear from what you wrote.  Authors name is helpful for folks tracking it down.

It's one I hadn't heard of

Just finished "The Wrong Stuff" by Truman Smith.  Covers his time (and more) as a B-17 bomber co/pilot.  Not the best ever read but kept me interested.  Kindle ed.

The semi-biographical novels of Joseph Heller ("Catch-22") and Kurt Vonnegut ("Slaughterhouse Five") are pretty great.

This book is a newer release, but it attempts to give the reader a view into life for the average German civilian and soldier. It isn't light reading by any stretch of the imagination, but it is by far the largest in scope from any type of psychosocial exposé I've read previously.



This book is one of three, but the other two earlier in the series consist of the politics in Germany prior to the start of the war.

Here's a copy of my book collection - I haven't updated it in over a year; I probably added two hundred to this list

A Question of Honor: The Kosciuszko Squadron: Forgotten Heroes of World War II
A Question of Honor is the gripping, little-known, and brilliantly told story of the scores of Polish fighter pilots who helped save England during the Battle of Britain and of their stunning betrayal by the United States and England at the end of World War II.
