Book on Aust. Airmen in the Pacific War.

:salute: G'day All!
I have just tracked down & ordered a book by Mark Johnston called "Whispering Death--Australian Airman in the Pacific War" from the Book Depository in the UK. It sells for under $30 Aust with free delivery world wide. The synopsis reads well & there are many pics so any of you who wish to recreate Australian Aircraft in your Pacific gaming might find it of interest.
I will post a review after I have received it & read.

Barry, will you please stop costing me money?;)

Ordered and paid for. Just don't tell the missus.

Good evening lads, I've just posted three book reviews for Darwin Spits, Whispering Death and Storm over Kokoda, all excellent books.

Of the three Darwin Spits is probably my favourite.

I took the kids out for lunch today to a little cafe strip in Oxford Street Bulimba, taking the opportunity to browse a second hand bookshop.

I struck gold, finding a hard cover copy of Ewer's 'Wounded Eagle' for $10! I also picked up the weighty tome 'Australian and New Zealand Warships 1914-1945' by Ross Gillett for $15.
