THE WARBIRD'S FORUM

New & improved for August

As of August 11, the Warbird's Forum has a new host. If you're looking for a page and can't find it, perhaps I missed it when I was moving the files over. Please send me email and I will try to make it good. Thanks! -- Dan Ford

Last month, this replica of a Dutch Brewster Buffalo was handed over to her owners at the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island, New York. The replica was built for the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum (military aviation museum) in Soeterberg, Netherlands. The markings on the Buffalo are those of the aircraft flown by Sgt Pilot 'Tub' Bruggink in the Dutch East Indies in the early months of 1942. Click here for more.

Glen Edwards: Diary of a Bomber Pilot is now available as an e-book, list price $4.99. Amazon.com sells it as a wireless download for its nifty little Kindle reader. And by downloading the free Mobipocket software, you can read this and other e-books on your personal computer or handheld digital devices. Click here for Glen Edwards in Mobi format.

Books of the month: The Looming Tower, a magnificent account of the people and the feuds that led up to 9/11; and War Wings, not an easy read but a valuable history of U.S. aid to the Chinese Air Force in the 1930s and later.

Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
