Double Fighter Knight

Public Books and Movies

I am only half-way through, but I will write about this book anyway. This is one of the GREAT fighter aviation books, and I will give it top rating.

The book is written in a way that you feel like you are flying yourself, and you will recognize lots of things from your own IL2-flying.

Author is Ilmari Juutilainen, who flew Fokker XXI, Brewster and Me-109 in Finland during 1939-1944. His final score was 94 kills.

Many fights are more detailed than in Closterman or Lipfert, and are also described with a tactical dimension, how he entered the fight, how he regrouped, and attacked once again, etc.

This book is highly recommended :wink:

sounds great! Ordered it a couple of days ago and will fetch my copy from the post office today! :smiley:

Hans, you are not a member of SMB (svenskt militärhistoriskt bibliotek), are you?

3

Lol, yes I am a member, I got my book 2 days ago :wink:

I wanted to order some other similar books directly from the publisher, but their card payment is out of order. It seems to be only a small publishing co. Anyway I mailed them.

4

Mmmm, is this available from SMB?

Book sounds great.

5

It’s in my “to buy list” from a long time! But i only found old copies at more than 80€…
Is it a new reprint???

6

Printed 2005 in Finland, English text, and yes I got it from SMB.

7

Oh, time for me to check my order list from SMB, strange I didn’t notice it last time I was in. SMB is making me buy too much books, arghhh…

8

Jimmi, if I order this book, do you want a copy as well? Price would be around €30 plus shipping…

Seems I’m a bit behind when it comes to the SMB books, but I think I will be able to order it anyway.

9

Ok fine!
:):):):):):):):slight_smile:

I’ll send you my data by PM

10

I also would like to have a copy (assuming it is written in English).
When you receive the book, let me know how I can trannsfer you the money. maybe we can make just one credit on your account Jimmino + me, so we cut banking costs.

11

I am interested too!

12

Ok, looks like this can end up beeing a big order, I hope SMB don’t mind. :smiley:
I’ll order the books before the weekend, I’ll let you know how it worked out when I recieve the books, and we’ll handle payments then.

13

Roger that! Aknowledge Sir! :slight_smile:

14

It is ordered, will probably take some time before I get them, perhaps as much as a month, I’ll let you know when I have recieved them.

15

Lots of interest in this book it seems, will order it also myself and check it out.

Thanks for the linkage :slight_smile:
