Glenn Flickinger | 3 comments I just found and joined this group. Can't believe I had not found it earlier as military history and especially WWI and WWII are my passions. I'm the son of a Korean War vet and my mom is a Pearl Harbor survivor having been an nurse's aid at the hospital and still doing very well at age 94! Looking forward to becoming a fan.

Mr.Rick--How is (was) the Stuka Book?..I have some interest in Ju 87. Man the 87 sure had it their way in the early days of the war.Eh?

Geevee | 3811 comments Welcome to both Donnie and Glenn.


message 2277: by 'Aussie Rick', Moderator (new)

'Aussie Rick' (aussierick) | 19989 comments Hi Wade, the book on the Stuka was pretty good, it only covers the period of their operations during the Battle of Britain but it was well researched and had quite a few first-hand accounts from Stuka crews and their opponents.

Bob Weber | 104 comments Oh LIlo it is good to see you back. Your tales of Surviving Nazi Germany always touch me. I also appreciate the factthat you were the first goodreads person to buy my book, "From Shaniko to Pearl Harbor." I just got a check from Amazon for people buying my book from them. If any of the buyers were goodreads people, I want to say thank you. I did find a bookstore here in Portland that bought dome from me just yesterday. Every sale is a joy!
