    This is what started it all, for me...........

    'Discovering Militaria', by Peter Newman.

    I got this little book when I was about 12 years old, and was immediately 'hooked'.

    I still enjoy reading it.

    A great little book that spawned many, many children.......................

                    Brian L Davis used to live about a mile from me, I suppose because I was so young at the time he didnt want to talk to me

                              I started off with the 'Davies' book, i was making Tamiya 1/35 scale German models at the time.....
                              This one was quite handy too......
