At least the sad state of British military aircraft will take your mind off the sad state of the Royal Navy.

Maybe it is time for Hochseeflotte Part II?

Reading a book on the Gran Sasso raid

[AnchorClanker]

Anna Édes by Dezső Kosztolányi -

I enjoy literature from the 20s and 30s, and this Hungarian novel picks up right at the fall of the Bela Kun regime... and it's the story of an urban, middle-class family and their new maid.

Fascinating read, actually.  Pick up a used copy, if you can.

A book about Valentinan and Valens
