Reviews

Excellent combination of WW1 history and the telling of personal stories


(5 stars)

Exceptionally well read by Mr Tomcho, he could make a cook book a 5star experience. The book is well written and a very interesting history of both early combat aircraft and the history of early submarines. I have a considerable interest in both subjects and I could cannot find much in the way of errors or omissions and again Mt Tomcho’s reading is always a pleasure. MRM.
