Hi All.

As the title suggests I'm after some good reference works on the air campaign in the Western Desert and then the Med/Italy campaign. I'm a complete novice on the aerial side of the campaigns and am looking to improve on this and add an aerial dimension to my games.

Many thanks
Andy

Chris Stoesen has a couple of scenario packs for the Western Desert based on the Toofatlardies "Bag the Hun" air game system.
