Glider Book

[rfleming32]

I just got my English version of "The Glider Pilot Badge" by Stijn David today. The translation was done well and I see no glitches with a quick read through. It is a great reference for those of you who admire this badge or want to find out why they are so hard to come by. The format has changed a little bit from the original edition. The badge numbering scheme has been dropped and the dimensions of the book has been decreased with a larger page count. Content is great and all the original badge types are illustrated along with a lot of useful information and history. Stijn is a WAF member and usually comments on glider badges posted. Good job. The book is available for $59 at B&D publishing that can be found at www.ironcross1939.com if you have an interest. Skip - you should buy one if you haven't already.

I have also now received my copy and wish to echo Richard's comments. This is a well-organized and well-illustrated book which no Luftwaffe collector should fail to buy. Stijn has done a very good job. The illustrated badges (to include the cloth versions) will greatly assist those seeking a glider piece for their collections!
