| A Brotherhood Of Valor: The Common Soldier Of The Stonewall Brigade C.S.A., and the Iron Brigade U.S.A by Jeffry Wert. A Brotherhood of Valor is the story of the men who served in 2 of the most famous combat units of the Civil War, the Stonewall Brigade of the Confederacy and the Iron Brigade of the Union. They fought in some of the most famous and bloody engagements of the war, from First and Second Manassas (Bull Run), to Sharpsburg (Antietam), Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. In telling the stories of these 2 brigades, historian Jeffry Wert offers a visceral depiction of the Civil War from the perspective of the ordinary soldiers who fought in it. Virginia's Stonewall Brigade got its name from its legendary commander, General Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson. Made up mainly of men from the Shenandoah Valley, it fought with distinction even after its commander suffered fatal wounds at Chancellorsville. The Iron Brigade was formed in what were then the western states of Wisconsin and Indiana. The similarities between the brigades were many. Both were made up largely of farmers, many of them family men with wives and often children left behind. They believed strongly in the causes for which they fought. They fought on opposite sides, but they shared many of the same hardships throughout the war. They were often hungry and astonishingly poorly clad. Many of the Southern soldiers, and some of the Northerners, too, fought barefoot. They often slept on the ground in freezing weather with nothing more than a blanket to cover them, and sometimes not even that. They marched on muddy roads in driving rain, sometimes on little or no sleep. Most of the soldiers on both sides were literate, so many wrote letters home to their families. Wert quotes liberally from these letters and diaries. This is good stuff. As the Union General Sherman said, "War......it is all hell." | |

| Late Marque Spitfire Aces 1942-1945 by Alfred Price. In September 1941 the first Fw-190s appeared over occupied France and the English Channel. The new German fighter was greatly superior to the Spitfire Mk V which equipped most of British R.A.F. ( Royal Air Force) Fighter Command's day fighter units. R.A.F. pilots were far from reticent about the qualities of their formidable new German fighter opponent. Their reports were relayed up the chain of command, gathering force as they did so, until they arrived on the desk of the Commander In Chief Fighter Command, Air Chief Marshal Sir Sholto Douglas. Adding his powerful voice to the clamor, Douglas wrote to the Ministry Of Aircraft Production demanding a fighter that could engage the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 from a position of equality, or preferably, of superiority. The Ministry, in its turn, relayed his demand to the aircraft manufacturers. Although the Spitfire is undoubtedly best known for its exploits against the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, its later war service with Fighter Command on all fronts against the Axis alliance was equally as important. This excellent book features the exploits of pilots who turned the tide against the Luftwaffe on the Western European and Mediterranean fronts, as well as the Japanese in the Far East, flying Spitfire Mk VIs, VIIs, VIIIs, IXs, XIIs, and XIVs. Names like Johnnie Johnson, Neville Duke and Donald Kingaby, plus a myriad of lesser known British, Polish, Canadian, American, Australian, Czech, Free French, New Zealand and Norwegian pilots, and their aircraft, are all covered in this book. This book just rocks. Alfred Price is a superb author. | |

| No Staybrite. This book only covers the later marque Spits. Specifically VI and on up. The Americans you speak of would have been in earlier marque Spits, the Mk I, Mk II, Mk III, and Mk V. These model Spits would have pre--dated the subject matter of the book. By the time the Brits had reacted to the Fw-190 threat by producing the Spitfire Mk IX, the Americans had entered the war and the U.S.A.A.F. ( United States Army Air Force) was in the process of taking the American pilots out of the Eagle Squadron and into its service. These ex--Eagle Squadron members would become the nucleus of the American U.S.A.A.F. 4th Fighter Group, quite a famous organization in its own right. Thanks for asking. This is fun to talk about. Do you want any recommendations of books to read about the subject of the American Eagle Squadron and its service under the British R.A.F.?? | |

Let me know how you like that. I "listened" to it on cd a few months ago (it was the only title my library had). Just started "A Case for Faith" by Lee Strobel, only this one is a real paper type book. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

I'm already about 140 pages into this and am liking it so far. But, I figured I would as I have read both Germ and Comes A Horseman by him as well. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |
