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
Darrell
