seaJane Posted 20 July , 2022 Share Posted 20 July , 2022 This post was inspired by the discussion in the "A bit confused" thread now in Skindles (WW2 aircraft on cover of a (probably pirated) reprint of a Gallipoli memoir). I had thought the attached cover was a spoof, but apparently it can be found on some (probably pirated) copies of the book: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolt968 Posted 20 July , 2022 Share Posted 20 July , 2022 I have a Kindle copy of Now It Can Be Told (Gibbs). It has a picture of WW2 US troops (paratroopers?) on the cover. (I'm reminded of the taking of photographs of Lionel for the cover of My Life in Kenya in As Time Goes By!) RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James A Pratt III Posted 29 July , 2022 Share Posted 29 July , 2022 Putting a totally idiotic cover on a book sometimes happens when a book is sent to a publisher that has no knowledge of the military. There was a bio of a US WW II general that had a column of Soviet tanks on it!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
