After the Battle - New Book.

Coming soon from the esteemed 'After the Battle' :
boffranc

THE BATTLE OF FRANCE
THEN AND NOW
Six Nations Locked in Aerial Combat

Feb 15th publication date.

So I'm still waiting for an ATB 'Kursk' 5 volume set.

Cheers,
Adam

Looks really good. Been quite a while since I check out the ATB stuff. Be nice to start building my collection again.
Does anybody know if the 'Third Reich' one is any good?

I've read 'Berlin - Then and Now' by Tony Le Tissier, excellent. I might well put it on my Christmas list.

I feel your pain.
It makes them almost the same price as 'normal' books , Rich mentioned a similar offer from naval and military press recently, didn't take advantage of that but it kind of 'warmed me up'... and christmas is coming...

That would be nice to own !

I quite fancied this book on Amazon but it seems a little outside my budget. Still, postage is free !
