4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice with hard covers and glossy heavy weight paper, October 29, 1999
This review is from: The Jolly Rogers: The 90th Bombardment Group in the Southwest Pacific 1942-1944 (Schiffer Military History Book) (Hardcover)
This book is a reprint of a book first published in 1944 utilizing personnel on active duty to put the book togeather. I do not see where the Publisher can claim Copyright on the contents, because the personnel who worked on the book were paid by the Military. In addition, this Group was not known as " The Jolly Rogers " until after July 8, 1943 when Col. Rogers first assumed command, and an enlisted man came up with the designation. The hype about the publicity starting in September 1942 is incorrect and detracts from the real value of the book. In fact, the first combat missions by this group were made in November of 1942. September and October of that year were spent in Hawaii in training and intensive long range patrols, which resulted in no Combat with enemy forces. If those discrepancies were cleared up, then I think any purchasers would indeed be fully satisfied.

This review is from: The Jolly Rogers: The 90th Bombardment Group in the Southwest Pacific 1942-1944 (Schiffer Military History Book) (Hardcover)
I grew up with the original version of this book; my father was a navigator with the Jolly Rogers in WWII. This version is a faithful reproduction of the original from the content all the way to the color shading of the photographs. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the page size is slightly smaller and the page content was not reduced to compensate. The result is some minor cropping of content on some pages. Overall this is a minor issue and the book gives a fantastic overview of life in the South Pacific for those flying and supporting this highly decorated Unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on an often overlooked bomber group, October 14, 1998

This review is from: The Jolly Rogers: The 90th Bombardment Group in the Southwest Pacific 1942-1944 (Schiffer Military History Book) (Hardcover)
My dad was in the 90th bomb group and contributed some material to this publication...he painted the nose art on the "DUDE" which is pictured in the book....it also covers a lot on the B-24 which often took a back seat to the B-17 in recognition....
