von Murrin Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Very nice. This isn't a criticism, however I (and hopefully others) would find it most helpful if you could list the sources for your page. I imagine they would make some absorbing reading.

I agree that the paras could benefit from more detailed modeling - especially after just reading Middlebrook's 'Arnhem - the airborne battle'. Well, CM II should solve that. I agree that it would be nice to have the sources - I presume that you used 'Go to it'? If so, you missed in the list of non-modeled vehicles the Cromwell IV, which 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance did get a few of those towards the end of their stint in Normandy.

Interesting book, which shouldn't be underrated simply 'cause it bills itself as an "illustrated history". And yes, while I neglected to mention the Cromwells in the text, they are included on the OrBat diagram for 6 Airborne Recce, as part of the HQ Sqn's Seaborne Party. I'll amend that. I've also just received some extra information on the Glider Pilot Wing's strength which I'll include when I get around to updating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 I picked up 'Go to it' in a shop in Hastings last year for £7. I think it is really quite good, despite the slightly cheesy cover. Seems to be out of print now. Up the Ox & Bucks, and all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
