Hell yes! Want to trade some DVDs for it? email me at chicoartist*yahoo.com (put @ in place of *).

I contacted Frank a couple of years ago about acquiring my missing books, and he sold me a few that he had left that I didn't have, and the balance (all but the Med book) I found in various places. He explained that his printer switched equipment on him, so he couldn't print the books as he had done before for a reasonable cost.

He wondered about doing them as PDFs on CD. I said that would be great, and many would buy them that way as I had the entire 4th FG operational diaries put on CD as PDF files - it was not cheap to do that, but over time I'll make a few bucks, and it's a great way to 'spread the 4th gospel'. I even volunteered to retail them for him just like I do my line of DVDs, and I never heard back ... oh well - I've got mine! 8)

Looking forward to hearing from you, Martin. :D

Wade

I know Martin is familiar with Frank, but my source for any question regarding allied aerial victories from WWI onwards is Frank Olynyk. He wrote the excellent "Stars and Bars", which many know of, but what most (I've found) don't know is that he compiled and self-published 10 additional softcover books covering most of the allied victories. He never (yet?) got to many of the RAF's aerial credits, but all of the US kills are documented.

These 10 books are extremely difficult to find - it's taken me years, but I have all but the USAAF Mediterranean book - probably because they are such valuable works of reference and folks don't sell them! He goes above and beyond USAF Historical Study no. 85, for example, in the USAAF ETO credits volume to become the "last word" on the subject.

So, if Frank says "17.333", it's 17.333! 8)

Wade


I agree Wade. The USAF Victory Credits on-line reflects all the updates to USAF 85 - some of which are due to Frank's presentation of the proof.

I have a couple that I have submitted based on LW aircraft destroyed by mid air collision with 355th ships that are evidenced only by the LW KUJ reports.
