News from Mark Reardon Mark Reardon, editor of Defending Fortress Europe: The War Diary of the German 7th Army in Normandy, sends along this update on his current project: "I am starting work on a book on the US Army Air Force in Tunisia during 1942-43. It will focus almost as much on their Luftwaffe opponents and British allies as it will the 12th AF (and 9th AF interdiction missions). Right now I am currently compiling a plane by plane shoot down list of all RAF, Luftwaffe and USAAF (and some Italian Air Force) losses during the campaign. I consider that a vital part of any analysis because I can compare loss rates, loss by aircraft type, kills by aircraft type, etc. at various points in the manuscript using that information."
