    What the f...!?

    Just snooping around on Amazon.com....

    Doras of the Galland Circus (Library of Eagles, Number 1) (Paperback), and there were five of them....
    Two for $669.94, one for $699.00 and two for $729.70!!!
    I mean, WHO would pay THAT amount, and WHO would expect to get THAT same amount for those books!!??

    Yeah it's very hard to find, out of print, and like several others of its ilk, it goes for a premium on ebay.

    You CAN find it on some download sites however.

    It must be one heck of book at only 74 pages long for that price. I could understand if it was signed by Galland but man....

    ...and a bunch of new stuff too, including the FIFTH JV44 Dora 'Red 2',

    Vol 2 is less than 2 weeks from being available at Eagle Editions, for those that are keen, like me!, to get a copy!

    Volume 1 is on the way. Looks like I'll have to get volume 2 also.

    ...but I draw the line well below $700. I saw copies of "Warplanes of the Third Reich" by Green on Amazon for 180 bucks and wouln't pay that either.

    I heard a rumor in the ww2aircraft.net break room that the admins were going to get all the members with more than 1000 posts a copy of this book. I can't wait for mine!!!!
