 | Fighting the Blue E-Zine Steve Darlow, the author of a number of excellent books, including Victory Fighters, Five of the Few and Five of the Many will be launching a new web based magazine soon. I have my fingers crossed for the enterprise, and I think he deserves our support and encouragement. The basic outline has been posted on his website: http://www.stevedarlow.co.uk/FTBsurvey.htm Good luck Steve - can't wait for the first issue.

 | Excellent idea. As the "editor" of my own monthly e-zine, I hope he goes well. If his books are anything to go by, this'll be a good read and very informative. Looks like he'll have a few sections we might be able to help out on as well.

| Hi All, I've had the pleasure of meeting Steve and he's a great bloke. (We have the same publisher.) I've had a quick look at the e-zine and it's of a very high quality. Cheers Owen | ||||||||||||||

| I really need to get my act together and send Steve a donation for his work. Haven't even subscribed officially or anything. Too wrapped up in my own mag and its readers. Bloody old trucks! :-D
