Hi Guys


Mike. You are the correct a nice guy, easy to talk too, down to earth and even found time to speak to an Ausie from down under. I fould him a real gentleman.

Rich. A wise comment as usual. I value the book more for how I obtained it and the memory of the moment. I too loved the film "Reach for the Sky" starring Kenneth More. The man was not held back by adversities and was prepare to look on the bright side of his life after losing his legs.

Might have to dig up the movie and have another look at it .

Cheers

Tony

Hi Tony

One of my greatest regrets from my early teen years is arriving late at the Aircrew Reunion in Winnipeg back in the late 1970's and being unable to get my copy of "Reach for the Sky" signed by DB who was attending that year with Adolph Galland.

By the time I arrived (cross town on a city bus in my Air Cadet uniform), it was all over. Somehow I completely messed up the timings. I recall be very very dissappointed in myself that day.

I had a large collection of the Ballantine Warbook paperbacks with the fold out covers back then and really really wanted that one signed. I recall there was many other of my favourite WW2 titles like Brazen Chariots, Fly for your life, Company Commander, To Hell and Back, Tin Cans, Samurai, etc etc etc.

Were I you, I'd hold on to that particular book. Sure, we downsize and somethings end up on the block but that; I would keep.

regards

You are of course correct, I will hang onto the book. It was just that once I saw it again it bought back good memories, it takes up no room at all, may even read it again.

Cheers
