I received books from @andy1966!
Andy sent me two journals “Flight Journal” and three books:
- Sims, Edward H., American aces in great fighter battles of World War II. Foreword by Nathan F. Twining. New York, Harper. [1958] 238 p.
- Sims, Edward H., Greatest fighter missions of the top Navy and
Marine aces of World War II. Foreword by Arleigh Burke. [1st ed.] New York, Harper [1962] 250 p. - Caidin, Martin, Air force; a pictorial history of American airpower, by Martin Caidin, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force. New York, Rinehart [1957] 232 p.
We had a research project in DCS World simulator. The project was
1st – collecting information online about
2nd – collect the same info from books and compare them.
In spite of it is quite old books, they consist a lot of detailed descriptions about missions during WWII. So we planned to use these books (with many others) in the research project.
Unfortunately, I canceled this project because I found that DCS World has a lot of critical disadvantages concerning WWII aviation. I would say – DCS World just incompetent simulator for WWII aviation at least at the present time.
Anyway, we can use these books in the future in Il-2 Sturmovik (Battle of Bodenplatte) or in DCS (if they will resolve critical problems there) to create missions, research etc.
Thank you very much Andy for the books!
