Is this book still in print and available from the publisher/author or do you need to look for it on the secondary market?
IIRC, I purchased the guns of WW2 book directly from Mr. Pate and was able to have him sign it for me. I'll have to go check to make sure but that is what my memory is telling me. (It does sometimes lie to me)
Sal feel free to PM me if you have any details.
