Today is my seventieth birthday, shared with others during the Battle of Britain period. What to buy myself for this auspicious occaision! Off to Dagfields near Nantwich where there is a great S/H bookshop full of aircraft, railway and naval volumes. But what caught my eye was ‘German Aircraft Industry and Production 1933-1945’ by Ferenc A. Vadja and Peter Dancey. Published 1998 by Airlife. Its 327 pages are packed with 15 years research and ninety per cent of fact and figures that have never been published before! This will help to provide knowledge to certain questions asked on this forum. One thing I dont think happened was strikes! They had enough trouble with planning programmes to an end product. Must get back to my reading. Goodnight Ray.

As to the strikes, even with bombs dropping people kept doing their normal things…
I guess it was to keep their sanity.
…or was it.

Happy Birthday Super Sioux, may you have a long and happy life. I thought I was old, I’m only three years behind you so, I’m just a kid!
Best Wishes.
