announces the publication of
The Bluenosed Bastards of Bodney
By Tom Ivie and Bob Powell

REPRINTED 352nd HISTORY DEDICATED TO MAJOR GEORGE E. PREDDY AVAILABLE AUGUST 2000

Our 352nd history, The Bluenosed Bastards of Bodney, was originally published in 1990. With sterling reviews in aviation press, all 1,600 copies were sold within a year, some 600 of them pre-ordered at $50 per copy; those ordered after publication sold for $60. Then, when the few booksellers who had bought copies started selling them for $75, we raised our price to $75. When they went to $100, so did we. Then they were gone.

In subsequent years, however, as our veterans died, family members put their books up for sale and we sold them and returned the money to the families. As collectors were eager to get copies for resale, the prices went from $100 to as much as $250 a copy. With few, if any available, and the demand for them increasing greatly, we decided to reprint this history. Some few changes and corrections were made, including the back cover, and it was turned over to the printer May 15th and 1,200 copies were ordered. Delivery is scheduled for August 1st. The second edition is dedicated to Major George E. Preddy, top Mustang Ace.

Without a pre-sale promotion, financing became a problem, so three of our dedicated members advanced the fund so the reprint could be ordered. Price of the reprinted copies will be $49.95 plus $4.95 shipping and handling.

If you would like to order a copy of the reprinted 352nd history, The Bluenosed Bastards of Bodney, scheduled to be available for shipment August 1st, please use the order form below. Books ordered after August 1st will be shipped only after checks have cleared. No shipment delay on Money Orders.

Once in a great while a work appears which stands far above all others,
as a diamond among rhinestones. Such a book is The Bluenosed Bastards of Bodney,
a history of the 352nd FG.-- J. Michael Winger

Col. Hubert "Hub" Zemke, legendary C.O. of the famous
56th Fighter Group, described this book as
"...absolutely the best fighter history to come out of World War II."

Orders placed now will be shipped first when the books arrive in early August, 2000!
