Nimrod Boys - the latest Boys title from Grub Street. Some good yarns. My review contains a Nimrod tale that (almost ) inexplicably is not contained in the book. Review is here.

It's been a while, so you get two for the price of one.

Spitfire Leader, a biography of a Battle of Britain ace who died in tragic circumstances, and a history of BOAC. To be found here and here.

Sorry, been a bit quiet. There will be another review published early next week. In the meantime one cannot let pass the retirement of the Tornado without comment. This morning RAF Marham's two Tornado squadrons stood down, thus marking the very final end of this type's service in the UK. And it has done some very hard work, probably more combat hours than any post WW2 type. The UK has certainly had good use from its airframes. Moot point whether it was as tireless a workhorse as the Canberra. Well done all in the Tornado Force.

Both from Pen & Sword Military: The Final Advance, and Guiseley Terriers - both WW1 titles.

Joys of War by JP Jordan from Pen & Sword. The title is part ironical, as much of the book describes how the author is de-stabilised by his combat experiences. Gritty in places, but grating prose style. Review is here.
