June 2021 will see the release of my next book, same style as The German Aces Speak series. I dusted off more of the old interviews, and this time I started a new series with American aviators in WW II. It is posted on Amazon already.

Quotes by Colin D. Heaton (?)

“The Russians had a strange attack method on the ground. I saw this myself, when we were flying over Stalingrad. In that area, they would attack in waves of five or six ranks. The first wave had weapons, and the following soldiers had nothing. They did not even have tank support—nothing. They had to pick up the weapons from the dead and wounded and keep going forward. Then the next wave did the same thing, and the next. It was incredible to us. Throwing away lives that way.”
― Colin D. Heaton, The German Aces Speak II

“Setting propaganda and postwar myopia aside, the Luftwaffe pilots were not only brave men defending their country from obliteration; they were men of honor who still fought by and believed in a code of chivalry, reminiscent of the First World War, when enemy pilots often saluted each other in battle, and wounded enemies were allowed to escape to fight another day.”
― Colin D. Heaton, The German Aces Speak

“The Ukrainian man told us that the Russians came in twice and took his farm, all of his grain that he grew, and that they did this to everyone. He was a boy the first time, in the 1920s, a teenager I think. His father argued with the official, and they shot him on the spot. Then they came again just a few years before the war, and again they took everything.”
― Colin D. Heaton, The German Aces Speak II
