Colley is and amazing book with all the facts a figers on the Red Ball, he has quotes from the drivers, most of them are now dead unfortunately. So has this book got the same old info in it or are we going to get new information from this book. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colley is and amazing book with all the facts a figers on the Red Ball, Mick it's FIGURES not FIGERS :roll: What is interesting to note is that all of the contemporary pictures of CCKWs from the Red Ball are all wooden bodied - don't think there is one steel body in there.

Sorry I was never was much for spellings ;-) Looks like there was at least one steel body on the Red Ball and this bit of YouTube film looks like a few steel bodys may have been used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe0TOEc6EJs http://514th.co.uk/images/WWII/fb1a512d.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
