 | In the Skies of Europe - Air forces allied to the Luftwaffe 1939-1945
During the Second World War the air forces and pilots of the countries allied to Germany played a greater role than hitherto conceded by historians. In this book, Hans Werner Neulen has gathered an enormous amount of information on the air forces of eight countries and the various foreign airmen including Russian] who fought with the Luftwaffe. Their operations, mostly carried out in conditions of numerical inferiority, their successes and failures, as well as the motivation of the aircrew and their often tragic fate are all incorporated into this comprehensive account.

 | Tips, Tricks and Trips Book (CON65)
Having More Fun with Flight Simulator X Microsoft's Flight Simulator X is now making its way onto the computer systems of many virtual pilots. FSX takes advantage of today's more powerful processors and graphic cards to deliver an extraordinary realistic simulation environment. Within FSX lies a huge variety of user controlled features that broaden the experience even further than was previously possible. With this additional power comes some level of complexity. The aim of this new book is to put the complexity to rest so that you can enjoy the Flight Simulator experience rather than fight it. Adam Howe and Scott Slaughter, two of our flight sim experts who also have many years of writing experience, are putting their thoughts to pen for their new book Tips, Tricks & Trips for Flight Simulator X. This is not a users manual for Flight Simlulator X. Instead, it's a collection of "right to the point" articles that will help you run FSX faster, better, easier and have more fun. Tips, Tricks & Trips presents topics that you won't find elsewhere. This new 220-page book is written with minimal "technicalese" for easy reading

 | Wild Blue Yonder
Product description: ‘Two nations divided by a common language’: this was never more true than in 1942 when the first American airmen arrived in the UK. Young Americans were puzzled, amazed and often exasperated by the mysteries of British speech, food, manners and plumbing. Martin Bowman has interviewed hundreds of veterans, from decorated pilots to British civilians who, as children, were entertained on US bases and have never forgotten the forging of an enduring alliance. From comic cultural misunderstandings to terrifying stories of the bomber missions over Germany, this is our last chance to hear first-hand from the men of the 8th Air Force and the friends they made in Britain.Set over 224 high quality pages, with hundreds of full-colour and black and white original images, Wild Blue Yonder pays homage to the friendships formed in battle and their ability to stand the test of time long after the last shot is fired.
