Reviews
Past & Present is in an easier format for the battlefield visitor, as these are relatively compact paperback titles. * Recollections of World War II *
For a visitor to Normandy, this will be a very handy little reference if you want to travel around the area, and understand a bit more about some of the places that today are quiet and peaceful and which you might otherwise drive past without appreciating what happened there back in June 1944. * Military Modelling.com *
These books are great for all ages but the younger me would have loved them and each volume is an ideal present for the history mad youth in your family. * War History Online *
The "then and now" photograph on the front cover is fascinating, as is the story of the 6th Airborne Squadron and its allotted tasks... * Books Monthly *
They are lavishly illustrated...good value for money and are recommended. * FSG (Casemate magazine) *
