Interesting.

I went to the doctors office and he had a copy of WW2 magazine, It had a great article called Torpedo Junction about Japanese subs having a "happy time" of their own on American ships in the Pacific.

There was also an amusing yet informative article about the ceremony held when a ship crosses the equator. Those shellbacks are mean, and I surely hope you guys still don't give the goofy haircuts, some of those pics were great!

He referred to his ship as "a life support system for rivets" , and I started laughing...

Here I am in a doctors office, with ancient people, laughing at a WW2 magazine.

So I kinda went home and subscribed. It is really cool if you are into WW2.

Soldiers of the Sun by Meirion and Susie Harries.

And I've got a paperback of WW1 Aces floating about somewhere.

Happy new year and many good books in 2013!

American Raiders (The race to capture the Luftwaffe's secrets) by Wolfgang W.E. Samuel

01-02-13, 04:02 PM

Just finished: The Russian Origins of the First World War by Sean McMeekin.

Like a number of recent works on WW1, this questions the veracity of the Anglo-centric conventional accounts aiming this time at responsibility for the start of the Great War. Uses Russian, German and Turkish primary sources previously ignored in most English language histories of the July Crisis.

Author is an British history professor teaching in Turkey and fluent in both Russian and Turkish.

Up next: Team of Rivals; The Political genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Wrapped up Flying Aces of World War 1 by Gene Gurney in a few hours (hey, got it for $1 and it was an easy read) while making lunch and supper on Monday.

Now on Blossoms in the Wind: The Human Legacy of the Kamikaze by M. G. Sheftall. Interesting read so far; the Japanese "angle / POV," per early 20th Century / WW2 is always interesting to me for some reason.

Next up: The U-Boat War in the Caribbean by Gaylord T. M. Kelshall (it runs a bit on the "dry," side for me and I've tried at it once before) or a re-read of Hitler's Battleships by Edwyn A. Gray.
