Re: Some recommendations for your aviation library

Elm, Has anyone bought yer He 111?

Funny you should ask, Ara, because I moved it onto ebay; the auction just ended at $81.00.

Re: Some recommendations for your aviation library

Currently I'm reading "Eddie Rickenbacker" by W. David Lewis, published in 2005. Went on abe books and found it for under $14 shipped. GREAT book! Appears to be very well researched. I'm really enjoying some of the history of various hi-level folks, ie McArthur, Arnold, Marshall, etc, as Rickenbacker rubs shoulders with them, and travels to military bases, etc. on behalf of government officials.

I have, of course, read his auto-biography, but enjoy getting someone elses take on his life. Highly recommended.

Re: Some recommendations for your aviation library

I've got a few hardcover color reference books from Histoire & Collections and, IMHO, these are some of nicest for historical materials (newspaper clippings, patches, clothing, color aircraft plates, etc.). One that I can't get enough of and can highly recommend is the 8th Air force "American Heavy Bomber Groups in England, 1942-45" by Gregory PONS.
