As I’ve got a couple of Skyknight’s to do soon, thought I’d get a quick reference.
Some really good quality photos and profiles. Looks like Osprey are back to the high quality gloss paper rather than the matt a few I bought last year were printed on. Photos and profiles had a noticeable poor and grainy quality in those.
Looking forward to reading it.
These two currently
Currently reading this one for a review for Osprey Publishing.
I was hoping for some new photos that I haven’t seen before, but alas.
It’s an interesting read nonetheless.
Keav,Spearhead is a fantastic read,might as well go and order your WWII Pershing,your gonna want to build one !!
I’m about 1/2 way through and it’s excellent. I thought I heard they were making a movie. I like Adam Makos’ writing so I went ahead and bought Devotion.
The History of Science Fiction and its Toy Figurines

First published in Great Britain in 2023 by Pen & Sword Military
I am finishing my current read about a pilot in the 100th bomber group.
Good read. On one mission, only one plane in the squadron (his), made it back and that one was badly shot up. Due to officer shortage and his experience as a pilot, he was made the squadrons operations officer as a 2nd lieutenant.
This story must be the basis/inspiration for the 5th episode of Masters of the Air.
“Read” (audio book) Spearhead last year. Fantastic book.
Have you built the M26 yet?
Sounds very interesting. I only know the bare basics of the civil war, and not much at that. Took two guided tours of Antietam last year. Going on a guided tour of Chancellorville in a couple of months. Planning a tour of Chickamauga this spring.
Friend gave me these Tuesday night. Used to live up along Manassas Battlefield and spent decades finding artifacts.
Yes,the book made me do it !!
Very nice pieces. Enjoy your Chancellorsville-Journey, must be great. Follow the way from Jackson’s flank march or see the view from Hazel Grove and more places to see. Hope you spare some pictures

Watto.
Finished this. Very dull and dry. Most interesting part was how he joined the army for college level tech schools and ended up driving a tank.
I’m taking a break from military reading and taking a trip down memory lane and my miss-spent youth by reading about John Densmore the drummer in the bad ‘the doors’
I will!
That image of the Spitfire, for me, shows why the Spit is such an iconic airplane.
Listening to The Aviators, The: Eddie Rickenbacker, Jimmy Doolittle, Charles Lindbergh, and the Epic Age of Flight. Incredible stories. I read Doolittle’s biography thirty years ago, and listened to Rickenbacker’s WWI bio last year. This book falls between those two but is awesome in its own right. Recently, as a “get to know you” question, I said Jimmy Doolittle was the person from the past I would like to talk with. Now so more than then.
I’m looking forward to it✌️
