Ive got prizes ready .... and they are:

1: A book (new) "Helmet for my pillow" by Robert Leckie , the story of a Marine in the pacific .(WW2)

2: Another book (new) "Red Baron" the life and death of an ace, by Peter Kilduff .

3: A 3 dvd package called Submarine Patrol ,and to quote from the box " a stunning 3 part series shot with unprecedented access to an operational hunter killer nuclear sub" i have watched this , but like new.

I will post the questions at 1900 on sunday (this coming sunday)

Legal note : the term "new" means , unread , as in new condition.

As per normal , free post to anywhere within the solar system .

An interesting note , "Helmet for my pillow" by Robert Leckie , this was the book that was used as the base to the HBO TV series "The Pacific", and the writer/author is one in the series many would no him as 'Lucky' that follows his career .

After following the story and what happen to Sledge, the Pacific series is a good introduction to people react , during and post war.
