    Welcome aboard the forums Pakop !

    You may have to search hard in the number of antigue book dealers/stores. Germany has quite a few but sorry do not have any listed in my files. Possibly one of our excellent English contacts from these forums can help.......gentlemen ?

    Well, not English but Dutch...(Damn, where is my flag! :D )

    I can probably get you a 1971 reprint of this book...I'll contact you via e-mail.

    Searching for this book, I came across a link that some of you might find interesting....especially Major Wray's publication might be of interest to people here...

    There are at least two copies currently available on 'Bookfinder' - not cheap, though !

    Bookfinder dealers are very reliable indeed so you can use the site with total confidence.

    http://www.bookfinder.com/

    and just use their very efficient search facility.

    Good luck !

    Thanks to all. I have found the book thanks to bookfinder. The peculiar thing is that two days ago the book did not appear in bookfinder:) The book is a little expensive but that is the book.

    The 1971 version does not interest to me, only the original of the year 1947.

    Thanks Eric, Stevin and Martin.

    Really glad we helped.

    That's the 'thing' with Bookfinder - stock changes very fast so it's worth checking regularly. I recently found a very scarce Mosquito book by checking every day for two weeks. Suddenly, there it was, and it arrived here from Australia four days later... :cool:

    Yep ;) - the book in question was 'The Gestapo Hunters : 464 Squadron RAAF 1942-45'. Virtually impossible to find 'over here'.

    Nearly all the 'Bookfinder' dealers operate via secure sites : I have never yet had a problem paying with Visa. (Whereas, for instance, I never pay by anything other than cheque on ebay ).

    Next rainy day I think I'll spend some time at that site......sounds interesting as I am in need of some other OOP German titles.
