Top Secret Reveal
Added 2021-07-26 13:33:17 +0000 UTCHey,
Finally I am able to share the big news. On August 4 I will launch my crowdfunding campaign to release my new book. This project is similar to the two previous books I published with Bernhard from MHV but with some distinct differences!
First, and most importantly, it will be about a plane. Second, it's a collection of +7 documents, with additional background information and context added to explain the relevant sources in full detail. Third, it will be fully in English instead of a English-German side-by-side presentation.
The plane in question is the Junkers Ju-87 dive-bomber. The Stuka, as it is often known, has featured in many books but never like this. The documents are carefully curated and collected from multiple archives to provide you the best foundation on the actual training, use and operational experience with this aircraft. I don't think I am wrong, based on what I have seen in books, that the vast majority of the documents have yet to be published in a book - but that will change this Fall with this project!
Above you see an early testprint. Things are progressing so quickly that it is already out of date but at least the cover (WIP) shines through. Can't wait until I am done and hold the final one in my own hands :)
All the best
Chris

2021-08-02 04:00:24 +0000 UTCI just messaged the creator of the comic book series The Desert Peach, to see if she would like an autographed copy, shipped to her, in Washington State, USA. I'll pay.
