Senso - the Japanese remember the Pacific War by Gibney

Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War by LaCroix and Wells

The book on cruisers looks like a great reference. Hm, coming up for AE: "Medium ship, big war"?

Cruisers book is a great reference book. I only wish we had more books like that for other classes! Got that one last year for Christmas, I think.

A dozen "Girls gone Wild" videos. Some hosebag got ahold of my credit card number and went "wild" if you get my drift. Funny thing is the moron was such a total loser that he sent the videos to my address rather than his own. And he/she did not order anything else except a few itunes. Must have been a kid.
 
Now that it is all fixed with the credit card company, the fine folks at GGW are insisting that I return all of the videos. Hmmmmmm......should I?

24 hours of that movie on TNT is a great way to spend Christmas!

And I surely hope not! That would be something that would be damaging to my WitP career!

Among my other books, I received the first and third volumes of "Bloody Shambles". Any suggestions on a place to find the second volume?

Nice, I just readed the free source on the website.

About another book I ve got for Christmas I have read:
The Grim Reapers at work in the Pacific Theater (3rd Attack Group 5th USAAF) by John P. Henebry
- Not as good as Pappy Gunn by Nathaniel Gunn in writings, but interesting in photos, maps and pictures.

This well known photo is also in the book with statement:
Third Attack Group A-20G skip bombing freighter near New Guinea, actually hitting the mast of the ship, which caused the pilot to ditch the plane.
Gunner was KIA, but pilot floated in his life vest through the night until finally recovered at daybreak.
