In Bravely Into Battle, Galloway uses the term FUP. What is FUP?

edit II: Forming Up Point (learned that from WW2 Talk)

 

Now onto Nanjing 1937: Battle for a Doomed City by Peter Harmsen.

 

Technical and Military Imperatives: A Radar History of World War II Louis Brown

 

Storme Galloway's With the Irish Against Rommel.

 

Just got a copy of Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants by John D. Clark. Covers from about 1935 to 1970 and is written with a good sense of humor injected into what could otherwise be a dull topic.

 

Finished Al Nofi (ed) Fred Grant at Vicksburg. Twelve year old Fred Grant is permitted by his father to accompany him on his campaigns. Unfortunately Fred falls ill at several points and had no observations to share during.

Reading Fest's Not I.

 

Finished:
Wayne Blickenstaff's Ace in a Day. Blickenstaff was already an ace with his fifth kill a Me-262. He went on to shoot down five planes in one day.
Brian Brinkworth's Secret Interrogation of a German PoW. Interesting how they turned Hauptmann Hermann Cleff to work for the British. Cleff was predisposed of disliking the Nazis and was never in the Hitler Youth.
John Diamonds's Guadalcanal.

 

Finished The Pan Am Clippers. Was told by my uncle who was an airplane mechanic that he would be inside the wing and tune it while the aircraft was flying. One image in the book shows big access hatches on the nacelle and another pipe like tunnels in the wings.

Finished In The Skies Over Europe. I learned how to hunt moose in Finland:

 

The RAF Regiment At War, 1942-1945.
