When did you first become interested in Warbirds? - Page 4 - Aircraft of World War II

Speaking of Aircraft of the World...

Here's a feature on it...

(Note: there are something like five binders, I have all of them, each group (sixteen of these) covers a time period or area of interest...)

Nice

I think I might have to buy some books on WW2 aircraft, I dont actually have any.

Be careful, once you start, it will continue to grow! I started with a few books and now have 2 shelves on my bookshelf on just WWII aviation! Another one or 2 on post war airplanes and aviation, and more on biographies and stories of veterans. It's like an addiction! I am strung out on non-fiction

Im not gonna go that far

Just like an encyclopaedia on them...

Here's the Med's lair - just in case you even give one!

Nonskimmer · 12-29-2004, 12:47 PM

cheddar cheese · 12-29-2004, 12:57 PM

Dear Dog ( that should have said God.... but I thought it looked better so I left it).
Aren't mens desks tidy......I will put a pic of mine on, when I can fine the camera under all the crap. The rest of the house is tidy, but not the study....... I use the word 'study' loosely... the world and it's son uses the computer when they visit (we have a guest access now built in) and they seem to leave a piece of themselves behind. So it is more like a war zone.

I bought 4 aircraft books today , I sat on the floor of the shop with two guys ( who must have thought well if she sat there we might as well), it took me an hour and a quarter to decide on which to buy (I now wish I had bought the other two..... felt guilty at the time and stopped at four ).

Medvedya · 12-29-2004, 03:45 PM

I wouldn't go as far as saying my desk was tidy!

I was expecting a jeering remark about the wanky printer we still have (it's being replaced with a laser)
