Channel Update - New Books
Added 2020-10-20 21:32:30 +0000 UTCHey all,
Third round of book purchases from your support. This time I 'accidently' ended up in a store and left with three bags full of books.
Thank you very much!

Something you mentioned in the video might be a good topic for a future production: How French Armee de la Air fighters performed against the Luftwaffe during the Fall of France May-June 1940 and inflicted heavier losses than generally thought.

Perhaps on a matter that you haven't found many good books but stumbled upon information in one of your trips to the archives?

2020-10-21 23:37:14 +0000 UTCI would love to see something about inter-war French aviation! My knowledge of that area is pretty lacking. It goes from "excellent aircraft at the end of WWI", to "Caudron racer beats the best of the US in the 30s", to "Luftwaffe overwhelms them" in the 40s, with nothing to give any of that context. I'd really love to get some context.

The book about Skyhawks vs SAMs(?) is interesting, since I used to work on Skyhawks. Seems like a rather focused topic for a whole book. On the subject of Skyhawks, I've picked up some Skyhawk literature from Douglas and clipped a few old magazine articles about the Skyhawk. They are in a Flickr album... https://www.flickr.com/photos/kurtsj00/albums/72157617660068712
