B-32 - Clearing the record a bit

[Donivanp]

That was an unfortunate typo which I have now corrected. Thanks for pointing that out.


I was aware of William Wolf's B-32 book from 2006, but just when I considered buying it Alan Griffith announced his new B-32 book in 2018. I wonder if and when his book will finally be available.

Yes I understand, BUT I just couldn't leave that one alone. We all have them, normally I don't mess with them but this one was just too much.

What some might consider unfortunate others might consider unintended comedic opportunities. Revel in the humor of it!

Wouldn't want to get misconscrewed ...

I posted this question on a Facebook aviation book group. Luckily Nick the co author is a member and responded
"I'm here! Our book is proceeding. Currently wading through about 3,000 pages of never-before-seen documents!"
So still on the cards
Was also pointed in the direction of another B-32 book, I hadn't heard of it before ! I'll add the cover shot, thanks for the relighting of the thread.

I believe I read that book. It was a good read about an aircraft and its crews that received too little attention.

That is a reason to give heads up here.
Big community. Even far more viewers.
Dedicated audience. Must i realley explain more,?

 

[Donivanp]

I bought this book, interesting subject and much undersung

Read his book "The Last Batte" on the battle of Schloss Itter. Good book so I would expect this one to be good as well.

"Don't shoot the messenger !" Guess you are aiming that at the authors ? Sounds like they are a tad busy. However, understand where you coming from and it worked in this case as well. Perhaps in a roundabout way but we got the answer Happy days

Great forum that's has led me and fellow enthusiasts to a great memorial project. It's for the crew and civilians that perished, in a non operational crash, of the first USAAF aircraft to have airborne radar fitted. I will look at putting a thread together for it soon and tap into the wider community on here

Cheers Steve A

f for freddy . Its not directed to you! I am sorry i did not make that clear enough.

No it is to the writer guys and publish house in general. Cannot understand they do not drum their work in places they have a dedicated audience.
In stead they feed the eBay an Amazone beasts with advertising money.

The short answer is marketing is not what it used to be. Also, from what I've heard, in many cases marketing a book is up to the author.

That is precisly why they would want to give a heads up in these kind of sites.
I did buy more books because the writer was involved in some thread or just saying " i wrote an interesting book on god knows what" then in entering a shop. Be it real world or the web.

And even better when members are pleased about a book. These kind of peer reviews will take me over the threshold.

So .No i can not understand those clever writer guys and girls not just give a heads up on their most dedicated people.
Give 2 or 3 lines of text on a subject.

Can not be that hard now is it?

 

[Snautzer01]

Look mr Vasco is doing just that. I want those books.
I know Vasco, have a few of his i believe about the 110. I know it will be a good read.
See how it works?

Why not both approaches?

 

[Snautzer01]

Why not both approaches?

Sure. But why would facebook and all other outlets would get their very clever guys/girls write scipts to do just that?
When it is far easier ( i believe) to go directly to your potential clients?
Why bait an ocean if you know where to drop bait in a pond where you know the fish are?
To me it seems silly. Countless hours of research for the book and the add appears in a hair product of some kind because the target line was:
" Hair rasing Ramrod raids of the Bold 345 bastards of Chipinhum "

I was thinking more about the authors putting the work up directly on Ama or EB, rather than splurging for ads, and then hitting interest sites to spur interest. Putting lines into both streams, as it were.

I'd recommend William Wolf's B-32 book, I have it and its a fantastic reference book.
