In honor of Veteran's Day I had a display of recently donated books on World War II aircraft. This library has been very fortunate in receiving many wonderful donations and we have a very significant collection of other World War II books as well as books about other wars Americans have served. These books were donated by one of the World War II pilots still alive today who was a resident of this town for many years before his retirement.The books shown here are Bomber Command : American Bombers in Original World War II Color by Jeffrey L. Ethell; The Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft by Robert Jackson; Pictoral History of Aircraft by David Mondey; Conquer the Sky:Great Moments in Aviation by Harold Rabinowitz; and Fortress Fighters by William S. Somers.
If you like historical fiction books of the World War II era I strongly recommend the Zion Covenant series by Bodie & Brock Thoene. It does have 9 books that do follow chronological events so one should read them in order. There is even a Zion Chronicles series and a Zion Legacy series by these authors that are not as long. The books provide the reader with an indepth understanding of the plight of Jews in Europe during this historical era. Another Christian fiction author, Elyse Larson has a 3 book series set during World War II that I also recommend.
