Default "Drive to Victory"

OK. Looking for some volunteers to go through Vol 1 (250 pages) and who can provide feedback on errors, etc... This volume is 97% complete and, if the timing is right, will go to press in late January for an April delivery.
Chapters are in PDF format.
Clive

EDIT - I now have 6 volunteers which is as many as I can handle once the comments start coming in. Many thanks to all.

To be honest, it probably reflects the contents.

Default Finally - "Drive to Victory" Going to Press in July

After 12 years (or more) of work and procrastination, I am finally sending volume 1 of "Drive to Victory" to press.
Doubtless there will be errors but it's either now or never.
Clive

Yay!! Been waiting for this one. Seems like there are very few photos of Cdn vehicles in both the first world war and the inter-war period.
