Arnhem/1st British Airborne Division/Op.Market Garden book collection

Ordered this one today for a fiver. It's from 1945 and apparently has some good pics of Oosterbeek after the battle (which is just as well as its in Dutch ). Whether or not the pics are any different from the ones in "Oosterbeek Verwoest" we shall have to wait and see .
All the best.............

 

Paul,
Let's hope that you have a pleasant surprise.

Regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
I sold it reluctantly.Unfortunately I had no choice. I lost my work and needed the money for my family. they are more important then my books.
It was hurting me because I know that the change of finding it back is 5%.
But the book was in any case to a real arnhem collector.
not to mention, he payd a very good price for this almost impossible to obtain book.

So I understand that you would take it with you

But the sales of this book brought something good. I met Paul and then I met several people with similar interests.

And thanks to Paul, I was able to buy some good books because he pointed me out. (Arnhem Venture, Revel in god´s sunshine). And he bought somewhere for me B-company arrived.

You saying that reminds me of seeing a Army Parachutist display team many years ago wait for it.............the Royal Green Jackets, I still have the badge somewhere it says "Ive seen the Green Jackets Jump" now I will wait for the cries of derison 'Green Jackets on the end of a Parachute' it was explained to me some years later that the Green Jackets are really the Mafia

 

Whilst not an OMG book it is 1st Airborne (and NOT 6th, Drew! ) so I thought I'd put this one up.
The first pic is the 1992 hardback 1st edition and the second is the 2006 paperback version.
