For those of us who have studied WW2 for many years, it has largely been illustrated in black & white, with just a limited number of quite well known colour images that have been well used over the years. This shows us that many more colour images exist from that time, and it I think it gives quite a different viewpoint to see these much rarer examples, and together in such a large number. Historians and modellers alike will enjoy this one, and with the modeller in mind, some great inspiration for equipment and uniform detail as well as many diorama ideas. I think this one is sure to be popular.

“…a valuable addition to the historical record. The Luftwaffe officer's account for being selected for the May 1945 submarine trip to Japan also proved interesting from a "last gasp" point of view.”

This is the fascinating true story of this extremely brave SOE officer and partly covers his former wife Odette’s tale as well. A fluent French speaker, excellent athlete, and a highly intelligent ma, Peter Churchill was seemingly the perfect choice for the SOE. However, he tended to be a bit impulsive and careless, qualities for which he paid a heavy price.
This well-researched and clearly written book covers his missions to France, his working relationships with his French colleagues and his romance. The story of the controversy surrounding the film about Odette and his time in the SOE is especially interesting.

He died aged 26 in 1944,… Read more...
