My grandfather, Frank Carollo, was a prisoner of war in the
infamous POW camp Stalag 17 B during World War II. During these
dark days, he managed to keep a diary of his experiences, depicting
everyday life within, through beautiful short stories, poetry, and
drawings. Now years later, I've taken his accounts, adding
background details from friends and family, to create a memoir of
hope, love, and survival; a story of one man's life before, during,
and after being confined within one of the most notorious of Nazi
camps. 20% of the profits from each book sold will be donated to
the national Alzheimer's Association, in memory of Frank Carollo.
In addition to the history of the bases themselves, this book
covers the histories of all the USAF units who served there and the
aircraft types they operated. Lavishly illustrated throughout, with
many rare and previously unpublished photographs, the concluding
chapter brings the reader right up to the present day, with an
insight into the development of the Bentwaters Cold War Museum.
This book will be invaluable to any aviation enthusiast or
historian who wishes to learn more about the USAF years at RAF
Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge.
Illustrated with detailed artworks of World War II-era German
aircraft and their markings with exhaustive captions and
specifications, Luftwaffe Squadrons 1939-45: Identification Guide
is the definitive study of the equipment and organisation of the
Luftwaffe's combat units. Organised by theatre of operations and
the many campaigns fought by the Luftwaffe, the book describes in
depth the various units that were fighting on the front at key
points in the war and describes the models of aircraft in service
with each unit along with their individual and squadron markings.
With information boxes accompanying the full-colour artworks,
Luftwaffe Squadrons 1939-45 is an essential reference guide for
modellers and any enthusiast with an interest in the aircraft of
the German war machine.
