Gang, (Finally) There's a NEW WW2 8th Air Force Flight Gear, Uniforms & Photos Book. It's Called "8TH AIR FORCE American Heavy Bomber Groups in England, 1942-45". It's Written by Gregory Pons & Published by "Histoire & Collections". It's pretty good & well worth the $26. It has lots of excellent, full color photos of WW2 AAF Flight Gear, Jackets & Clothing. Here's a few shots from the book: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/ ... FBOOK3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/ ... FBOOK4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/ ... FBOOK5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/ ... FBOOK6.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/ ... FBOOK7.jpg There's also lots of Rare WW2 AAF photos. Most I've never seen before, like these: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/ ... FBOOK2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/ ... FBOOK1.jpg I consider this a "Must Have" book for any WW2 AAF Collector, Reenactor, Historian, Etc. I got mine for $26 from www.a1books.com It's probably available from other sources too... Digger |

is this book more a history of 8th AAF or is it indeed a book purely of flightgear? |

It's not a Roger A. Freeman style book, nor a John A. Maguire style book either. It's a "little of each" in a Scrapbook format that's really cool. Definately worth the $26... "Histoire & Collections" has other great titles too!! Here's the Website: http://www.jjfpub.mb.ca/histoire_&_collection.htm Digger |

Check out the listing on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/8TH-AIR-FORCE-Gre ... F8&s=books None other than Jon Gawne has raving reviews of this book. That’s all I need to know. Now, where’s that credit card?... |
