Inside the VC and NVA by Michael Lee Lanning and Dan Cragg

And I just found the Air University Press Book Store, so got some additional things to ingest that'll hopefully look good in the ol' AF Personnel Folder (maybe).

This one is always a good read:


It pretty much covers everything remotely military of the third Reich!




I highly recommend it to everyone! Each chapter is written by an expert in that field, so there's top-grade information all the way!

I thought it was no more than six?

Two from aircraft, one from HMS "Rodney", and three from "Dorsetshire"?

Red Rabbit volume 1 by Tom Clancy.

I've always wanted to read a book from him and so I finaly jumped into it.

P.S: it's in french.

Previous book readed :
The Godfather by Mario Puzo, in english.

Oooooohhhhh! A FELLOW CLANCY READER! I'm an American High School student and I can proudly say that I read every one of his main Ryanverse series...plus some of the little series' books.

To be honest, Red Rabbit...while very good...was not the best. The best is still a tie between Without Remorse, The Hunt For Red October, Rainbow Six, The Bear and The Dragon, and Debt of Honor/Executive Orders (They pretty much go together)


I highly recommend Without Remorse to start out with. Then move into Red Rabbit and then The Hunt for Red October.

Good point and I was just discussing this with Steve on Skype yesterday:

Quote:
Dorsetshire actually fired three torpedoes. Here is a list of all known/possible torpedo hits (not counting claims by Vian's destroyers):

Forgotten Voices of the Secret War, it's the first book in the Forgotten Voices series that I have read and I am enjoying it so far.

Anyone not familiar with this series it is a transcription of archived voice interviews from survivors of conflict in the 20th century, owned by the Imperial War Museum.

I honestly don't have any idea. I got it from here: http://unhalo.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

That is one strange site.

I've heard some negative things about it. I'm going to go ahead and read it because I can.
