Hi all,

Don't Let Them Bag The Nines.

I have just come across this book which is based on the diaries of a first world war bomber pilot. A different view from the many scout/ fighter books. I thought it worth posting, especially because the Kindle edition is very cheap on Amazon at the moment. Published in 2019.

From the blurb:

UNDISTURBED in an old First World War trunk were medals, logbooks, plane parts . . . and an old manuscript. This was the memoir of Captain Frederick Williams, who flew D.H.4s in photo reconnaissance and bomber raids over Germany.

Starting when he was stationed in Nancy in 1918 and ending with his return home with a Croix de Guerre and a DFC to his name, Captain Williams’ vivid descriptions place the reader right in the air alongside him, relaying the thoughts running through his head as events unfolded around him. It is an important insight into the early development of bomber raids within the RAF.

On Amazon uk it is only £0.82p at the moment... got it straight away!

Good find! I have it in my cart on the Kobo website. Now to find that gift card…

Purchased Thanks for the heads up RedToo, ive also noticed Winged Warfare Hunting the Huns in the air on the kindle store for 0.79p ($0.99c) Anybody read it? Surely a steal at that price
Also go get em at 0.49p ($0.62c)
And..Five Years in the Royal Flying Corps at 0.99p ($1.22)

Edit:Winged victory is also on Kindle for 0.99p ($1.22)

Thanks for that Adger, I have Winged Victory, but not the others.

Winged Warfare, was that not the biography of the renowned expert in bovine excrement Billy Bishop?

If you check Bishop';s confirmed victories (had a witness for the claim), he only scored 47 victories).

Awaiting the hate mail from the canadian forumites.
