Steve Davies Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We have a stash of books to 'gift' any Air Force squadrons that want to make a quick buck. Might help buy a few kegs of beer for the squadron bar. Time is of essence. Have to shift the books before the second week of Feb. Please see post 13 below for stock levels and post 15 below for instructions. Only cost to you is shipping, which is approx. $1 per book. That can be paid in US $ to my business partner Col (ret) Doug "Disco" Dildy (ex-Eagle driver). Payment details will be sent once the books have arrived with you, so it's a no risk deal. Thanks.

M2 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Steve Perhaps some of our brethren stationed in the UK can assist? It would be cheaper to send this via the APO than the Royal Mail. Cheers! M2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Davies Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 M2 We have about 100 copies in the UK that I'd like to give to the Bolars or Panthers at Lakenheath, and several hundred copies in the US that can be shipped to either DM or Hill. So, hoping that the bros on both sides of the pond can help! Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggyU2 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Damn Steve, Don't waste the book on those neanderthals. Most of them cannot read unless the book should be accompanied with a box of Crayolas. Whatever you have left, send our way to Beale. We would love to have them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggy If you're serious, you can have the books for free. We would request that you pay shipping. If that sounds satisfactory, you can have them. I wanted to give first dibs to the guys at Hill and DM because the book concerns those two wings (the book is Two Days of Rolling Thunder by Sam Deas), and I thought they would most appreciate the story telling of one of their forebears. However, the most important thing is that they go to a good home and that I get rid of them sharpish. So, if you want them, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just as an aside, the book Steve is giving away is an excellent read -- a first person account of flying a Thud mission in Vietnam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Davies Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Update: Lakenheath: 100 copies on their way c/o 494FS Panthers Beale: 50 copies on their way Hill: 50 copies on their way to 4FS, 25 to 466FS Cannon: Quantity TBC for SOF Nellis: Quantity TBC DM: Quantity TBC for 355FS Columbus - 25 copies on their way + 41 copies for 41FTS Tyndall - 20 copies on their way AK - Quantity TBC Dyess - 10 copies on their way Remaining copies: approx 75 Just as an aside, the book Steve is giving away is an excellent read -- a first person account of flying a Thud mission in Vietnam. True. I asked Ed Rasimus to review it. To paraphrase, he said 'Fine. So long as you know that I'll probably end up saying that it's shit. Most of these books are'. Here's what he actually wrote: “When you’ve finished the book, your palms will be a bit sweaty and there might be a slight tremor of your fingers. You’ll be breathing a bit faster and maybe your stomach will be in a knot until you realize this was long ago and you weren’t really in danger today. There have been many books on Rolling Thunder and many on the F-105 mission. I’ve written a couple that I thought were pretty good. Bob Deas has made me envious of what he’s done in Two Days of Rolling Thunder. This one’s a winner.” Edited February 3, 2013 by Steve Davies 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
