Stormbird

 


As a break from the tedium of marking yesterday afternoon, the other half suggested we visited a local National Trust stately home for a cup of tea and a walk in the fresh air. There's a half decent second hand bookshop there now, so I thought I'd pop in as it might have something of interest. Lo and behold, I walked out with three good as new Ospreys and a paperback copy of Stormbird, the autobiographical account of Hermann Buchner's wartime career as a Luftwaffe fighter pilot. I just happen to have a couple of really nice GHQ Me262's painted up and ready to use with Bag the Hun 2, so suitably inspired, I may well give them a spin this weekend against some P51's!

Pauke Pauke!

    What a result! You really seem to be a second hand book treasure magnet.
