Default More 2nd TAF Books

Hello Again Geoff,

Was just looking at my bookshelf and thought of two other books that deal somewhat with the TAF. The first would be Richard Rohmer's "Patton's Gap - Mustangs Over Normandy". This book's narrative is split between Rohmer's reminiscences of flying recce Mustangs with 430 Squadron, part of 39 Recce Wing and the larger question of the Falaise battle. My copy is a Stoddart second edition.

The second book I was thinking of was "The Big Show" by Pierre Clostermann. He flew Spits and Tempests through 'til the end of the war. It was one of those flying books that makes you wish (from the safety of your armchair) that just once you could've strapped into a Spit and headed off over France.

Happy Reading

Peter Nenadovich
