Hi Gnat
Before you spend money I suggest that you have a look at Dennis Burke's website, just google "Landings in Ireland 1939-1946" You will find a well researched ,accurate and interesting site.

...As Tony said.
It's a book which contains some nice photographs, but Donal MacCarron loves his stories  :jaw-dropping:
Would regard it as an basic introduction to this topic, but wouldn't take it too seriosly.
Ofcourse depends on the price you'd pay

Thanks Tony!!

Thats praise indeed!

The link to the site is

www.skynet.ie/~dan/war/crashes.htm

Its the basics of most incidents.  I don't go into details on the site much.

I know its not a catchy address and doesn't roll off the tongue but the sites advertisement free!

best regards
