This is the first book of his I have read and Ii am impressed. The use of personal stories really brings the war to life. It is about 32 hours long which is great value.

I am converted to audio books, great to listen while modelling.

I just had a look at some other audio books of his, not cheap, but the concept is very appealing.

I use Audible ( an amazon company ) for my audiobooks.
It is a monthly subscription , £7.99 , and it gives you a ''token'' which you then buy any book/item with.
If you start a book and don't like it , you can return it , and get a token back.
It is cheaper than buying paper books , and , with my eyesight less stress , listening to a "Ian Rankin" book as i type here.

I got these in town recently. This is my second Airfix 1/48 Mustang. It’s a great kit. When I was a kid I made the Matchbox 1/72 kit in the ‘Dooley Bird’ scheme.

Since most of my time is sculpting I am not buying many models to my 'latest aquisition' contribution is this:

I bought it as an audio book - I am listening to it while modelling!

Good choice Peter,
this is one of the best books on the war as whole, his overview is very clear.
When you have finished this I would heartily recommend any of his others.
Enjoy!
Neil

John, where would be the right sub-forum to place a build log?

 

[Guest]

Hi Scott.
The Civilian Vehicels Under Construction would be the place .
Head to forums above recent posts. It's quite a way down the page .

Cool, a Matchbox Seasprite … I always liked that one, both the model and the looks of the real one.
