Title: New Book - Images of War The Red Baron
Post by: skeeterbuck on October 08, 2016, 12:41:20 AM
October 12th Release Date.

Claims to contain unpublished photographs found in a car boot sale.  :o Could be interesting. I just hope it has more pics of him with the aircraft he flew to hopefully shed some more details.

The book only costs a few pounds on Amazon UK so it's not a big risk to take.

Well, the author writes books about modern sailing. He has not authored any books about aviation or history that I have seen, so . . . . . . . .

All the images depicted on the cover are well known ones. Please report if there is new material inside. Maybe what the author got at the car boot sale was just a set of the same images we all have seen on several other books.

Yea for $14 bucks not too much of a risk, but I really don't want another book in my collection that just some more of the same material. I most likely wait to see a review and then decide.  ;)
