Yep i have that one and i have one by Leonard Cheshire, i have a book by
Martin Caidin about the holocaust of Hamburg, and a real favourite by Maj. James (King of Strafers) Goodson; Tumult in the Clouds, i've read it a dozen times but still love reading it! I have quite a few good aviation/war books but was looking for others by E.K.Gann. Thanx for all the replies guys, tally ho!!! "Krztalizer" wrote in message ... ENEMY COAST AHEAD by Guy Gibson is well worth reading. Agree - ECA is a classic of wartime writing; unlike 99% of books on the market that were written after the killing paused, ECA was written between Gibson's years on bombing operations, the same years that were a literal bloodbath for Bomber Command. Hair-raising stories of those bitter, dark years that set the stage for the razing of Germany. v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone. |

We bought some land on San Juan Island in the spring of 2001. Looking at the plat maps for the island, I noticed several parcels near ours marked "Gann". I'm told that Dodi still lives on the island. |

"Stranger to the Ground" by Richard Bach. I gave each of my kids a
copy so they could see why I loved to fly fighters. "The Big Circus" by Pierre Clostermann. A no-**** record of WW2. "To fly and Fight" by Clarence Anderson. Ditto. "No Guts No Glory" by Boots Blesse. Hard to find. Walt BJ |

"M. H. Greaves" wrote in message ... Thanks mate, got it! "Jim Doyle" wrote in message ... "Mike Marron" wrote in message ... "M. H. Greaves" wrote: hi folks has anyone here read any of his books, if so which ones? And, wait for it, any one (pref in U.K.) selling any? I am reading Fate is the hunter at the moment, which is an excellent book, the author seems to effortlessly draw the reader into not only the cokpit, but into how he feels and what he's going through, brilliant! My dad promised me the book, knowing he was about to pass away soon (he passed away nearly 2yrs ago), he did actually try to buy it for me when he was still around but it was out of print and circulation at the time, and because he couldnt find his own copy, but when we were doing the house clearing we found it, i also found another of his "flying circus" which i intend to read after. I was just wondering if anyone else out there can recommend any others of his books and where i can find it. Besides Gann's FATE IS THE HUNTER, here's some more great reading material that you might add to your aviation library: snip: list of distinguished reads ENEMY COAST AHEAD by Guy Gibson is well worth reading. WHEN THUNDER ROLLED by Ed Rasimus Cheeky. Try Fighter Pilot by Paul Richey. His account of the Phoney War and the Blitzkreig on France is truly frightening. Wonderful book, most of A Piece of Cake by Derek Robinson is taken from this book. Richey threatened a law suit when he read Cake. John |
