That is one of the main things that struck me...they were very active in the Med and fought in the English Channel and North Sea right up to the wars end.
I'll see if I can scan a few of the pictures.

Somewhere in my stuff I have an old paperback about the Channel war from the British MTB sailor's side. There was a lot of action.

I just started The Red Circle by Brandon Webb.
He's a former Navy Seal Sniper who trained Chris Kyle and other famous snipers. This book is awesome so far! And it was a complete bargain at 5$ on the discount shelf. This is why I've been up til 0200 every night...

Started reading the Haynes "workshop manual" for the Eurofighter Typhoon. I'm completely addicted to this series, and own 25 of them, but this one is a big disappointment so far. No real technical insights, no detailed schematics, just lots of pretty pictures and endless gushing that sounds like it comes from an RAF press release. I'm only a third of the way in, and I keep waiting for the author to say the plane cures cancer.

With Metro:Last Light out, I thought I'd better play through Metro 2033 finally.
To go with that, I ordered the first book as well (Metro 2033, d'uh). Only read the first chapter so far, but really liking the atmosphere it gives the reader. |

In your case, you might want to get it on Xbox 360 (IIRC, you have one) as the PC version is notorious for it's high hardware requirements. |

I've just started Silent Victory, by Clay Blair. I'm through part I (pre-war) and I love it so far. Very nice style for a historical recounting, not at all dull or boring.

It gets better as the war progresses.
