• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I just picked up a copy in Very Good condition of Warpath across the Pacific: The illustrated history of the 345th Bombardment Group during World War II signed by the Author ($30). It's packed with pictures of the B-25 making low level attacks against the Japanese.

It's the perfect compliment to the copy of General Kenney Reports: A Personal History of the Pacific War that I acquired from a friend a couple of months ago. That has a wonderful narrative of the entire campaign, but alas no pictures.

p.s. I just found a copy of General Kenney's book on-line for anyone interested in a great read. https://media.defense.gov/2010/May/26/2001330291/-1/-1/0/AFD-100526-032.pdf

That title caught my eye!
I think (from the description) it's the one I purchased around 1990 or thereabouts.
Always liked those unit histories but this is a stand out, at the time it cost around A$150:00 and it was the first publication of its type to feature laser scanned images.
My copy resides (somewhere!) in my 'library', probably keeping company with Roger Freedman's 'Mighty Eighth', another standout publication.
Must go look them out.

Yeah I know what you mean. No doubt the nose would look top notch, but the rest of it...not so much.
 
Here's "Barbie III" another for the PTO, B-25H version.

I've just realized I never released it. It may be odd as I think I was unhappy with PTO's Corsair and may have just lifted the ETO one into PTO and it worked. Gotta dig into it.
