Reading for August 2008

I think I'll start on Tumult in the Clouds tonight: looks good.

I've just read a small pile of Mushroom Modeling publications (see my posting at Military History for this week's reading). If you haven't looked at these booklets and are buying stuff from Osprey they're quite worth your while. The main problem is that Amazon.USA really isn't a distributor, but Squadron (among other online hobby dealers) is.

Finished Tumult in the Clouds last night, and it was just okay; mostly a collection of tributes to Goodson's mates.

I just started reading Fox Two : The Story of America's First Ace in Vietnam. They didn't send Willy Driscoll to prison with Duke, did they? ;)

I concur with Shrike58 on the Mushroom Model Publications books. Excellent coverage of the development and history of various aircraft along with beautiful contemporary as well as color closeup photos and profiles. A different a/c or squadron or ace is covered in each book; mostly WW2 with some pre-WW2 and postwar subjects. Well worth looking for at a local hobby store or online.
