I also have the GI Collector's Guide Volume 1 and highly recommend it as well. I will definitely get the Volume 2 as well...Kat Last Edited By: cutiger83 01/05/09 13:16:04. Edited 1 times.

I will definitely get that book as it will be a great companion book to the 8th AF by H & C.* Update: I've researched this book and it seems like there will be two versions of the book cover artwork available, and will have a release date of January 2009 according to this English website: http://www.casematepublis...info.pl?sku=9782352500773 Below is the French publication book cover artwork: (Good pose by the pilot, a possible bash) *We will probably see the English publication of the book artwork here in the states sometime in February...* **"Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; Flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime" Adolf Galland** Last Edited By: AV8TORJoe 01/07/09 14:41:07.

The neat thing about the H & C's book about the 9th AF is the P-47 "Kansas Tornado" pix shown on the cover...I have this diecast by Dragon in my collection as well. **"Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; Flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime" Adolf Galland**

I used Babelfish to translate the French site. I didn't find an mention of the 407th, I'm beginning to wonder if all his paperwork is accurate? I may do a check on his CO or some of the names I see that signed the papers. Smell the plastic (retirement is good)

That's good news, but I'll just wait it for it to show up here at Barnes & Noble or Borders so I can get the book discounted when I purchase it! I always receive weekly discount coupons up to 40% off from both bookstores online..... **"Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; Flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime" Galland**

I haven't read too much of it yet (nothing on my dad's outfit though), but it has some excellent pictures that we can use for doing up figures. Smell the plastic
