Ok, here are some titles that are in the works for this year and next.......hopefully !
Operation Bodenplätte by Ron Putz and John Manhro. Nearly completed and I think just going through the final publication processes. Covers all the Ardenne Campaign. Meticulously researched. In English.
Sturmstaffel 1 by friend Barry Smith and will be published by next spring. In English, covering the heavily armored Fw 190's in squadron strength. Misnomer and known as Rammjägern which it was not. The book in over 400 pages and 350 photographs will cover this squadron and it's dissolvemnet into II.Sturm/JG 4 and IV.Sturm/JG 3, both units covered in our web-pages.
JG 300 by Jean Yves Lorant and Richard Goyat. To be published by Christmas in English ? French version being worked on as well, with the Book being translated into English as I type this. First person accounts, losses/victory lists and by some experten the best Luftwaffe fighter photos known. this book has been in preparation for over 20 years and Jean Yves has interviewed all living members of Jg 300 and their families.........an incredible work to be published by Eagle-editions.
JG 301/302, second addition by Luftwaffe pilot Willi Reschke. Willi has revised his classic on the Wilde-Sau units with much new information. In Deutsch. No publication date set yet.
Nachtschlachtgeschwader by friend Christian Möller. In Deutsch with no publication date set. Christian's grandfather served in one eastern Front unit from it's inception until his death over the Ost Front in 1943. Christian has used this background and has interviewed countless pilots and crews of these night ground attack units. He has amassed some incredible information, documents, and photos.
The last several books will be published through http://www.eagle-editions.com
Notice, I am not affilated in any way with the Crandall's, just a friend. Ok that is cleared up now.......

Much indepth coverage as to flak and searchlight defences, JG 300, 1./NJGr 10, NJG 11's Fw 190's and Bf 109's. We will finish up the book with lengthy discussions and many first person accounts of 10./NJG 11(Kommando Welter). Some very intersting info we have uncovered on this most mysterious man and his small 262 staffel. We will put away many myths that have surrounded this unit since it's surrender. Maps, documents and photos included.......ok enough of this.

can't say that I can, but I think the big book promised for who knows how long.......Drama Between Budapest and Wien is due out this year. I know it has been in the works it seems forever and first done in Deutsch, so now with some 100 pics and in English it hsould be a keeper....I hope ! I am looking forward to it just see the documentation about this end of the war, no nothing areas that are never mentioned in the war histories.
