I Have way too many book's already :rolleyes: , but as usual I could not just leave them there could I :D , and they do look to be a great score!!!!
They both have some very interesting stuff, and some very very good photo's, I have not seen before ever :eek: .
So this is them.
The Illustrated History of the AIRFORCES of WORLD WAR 1 and WORLD WAR 2, by Chris Chant. first Pub 1979. ISBN 0 86 136 792 8.
WEAPONS & WARFARE of the 20th CENTURY, Eric Morris-Curt Johnson-Christopher Chant-H.P.Willmott. ISBN 0 86178 057 4
Both are in A1 condition with dust jacket's not ripped, and cost me $15 Aussie dollar's each :cool:
Both are big and heavy, my arm's nearly feel off carrying them home :o , but it was worth it!!!.
Must be off again, I have nearly finished the Howard Hughes book The Secret Life, by Charles Higham, so must get back to it.
Old Howie was a VERY bent and twisted lad(not that bright with aircraft after all,), so it seem's, not so much one of my hero's now after reading this book :rolleyes: .
But had sh*t load's of money to try and buy everybody :eek: , and was up to his armpit's in so many crooked deal's almost to the time of his death, and that went right up to the President of the USA himself.
I have not seen the Aviator as yet, but would like to see what bit's they used from the book, and what they left out.
Bye for now ;)
