I read most of his books, the later ones where more of a rehash of previousmaterial but still interesting. I would have loved to sit and pick his brain for hours.

Was sad to hear that he passed away.

If you didn't see any of the episodes of Band of Brothers on HBO you can get the DVD collection on Nov 5.
Band of Brothers

I only got to see a couple of the episodes before I moved and lost HBO. The ones I saw were excellent.

I can highly recommend another book by this fella: Wings of Glory. All about a B25 crew in Italy.

I have the Band of Brothers DVD set on order for my dad's birthday. Great stuff. A lot of the combat stuff in the series is exactly like the vets' descriptions in the book.

Swoop, I believe you are thinking of "The Wild Blue", about B24 aircrew in Italy.

Unless they have some goofy UK title.
