I suspect both threads will quiet down quite a bit here shortly. [:D] I'm at 73%.

I feel like Charlie Brown at Halloween. "I got a rock." [:D]

If I'll finally start to download, there'll be plenty of time for spamming. 20-25kbyte in the last minutes... so 5-7 hours [:D]

I hope I'll ever be able to reach your advantege in experience to be a worthy opponent somewhen...

Before I sign off, I wanted to ask the collective wisdom of THE THREAD your thoughts on the best books on the war in Burma and Slim's campaign to retake the Malaya. 

I have Shore's "Bloody Shambles" series on the air war.  I am nearly finished with book 3.  I have Bayly and Harper's "Forgotten Armies" which I am reading in parallel with the Shore series.  Finally, I have Winton's "The Forgotten Fleet" of which I have only read the first chapter; I am waiting to catch-up in time in the other two books.

Your thoughts?
thanks,
mike 

Slim's Defeat into Victory is an excellent book. He's surprisingly open about his mistakes and has some very good analysis of the IJA's strengths and weaknesses. I read Slim's and Monty's memoirs back-to-back. The difference between the two books is jarring to say the least.

Well, it has downloaded, and having given it a quick look, it seems great. Got to get back to work, but I will see you guys later. And I say lets at least get this thread to 1000 before moving on to a AE THE THREAD completely.
