Siege at jatoville by Declan powers
« on: December 28, 2009, 10:28:27 pm »
Hi - new to the forum. Took my first glider traing rides at Baldonnell in the late 50's and early 60's. Served in the FCA and Irish military college. I am a fairly successful power pilot and gliding instructor - first 500km. flight in Southern Ontario, Canada.
I am looking for a copy of "Siege at Jadotville" by Declan Power - cannot find a copy for less than a months' wages. Condition is not important - a few friends were at Jadotville and Niemba. As i grow older, I am trying to tie up some loose ends.
Ireland will thrive again.
Best wishes, Sean O'Braonain.

Maybe you should stick this query on the main board John. I dont think many people read much beyond that area. In short they might not have seen your post. I cant help you at all, Im only new here myself.

That's the problem with some of the books. I bought 'Paddy Finucane book' off the internet for a big money. I think it was something like 75 bucks and it came all the way from Canada. But even though it wasn't cheap, this was the cheapest price far and wide.
So, the point I am trying to make is, internet is, probably, your best friend and, unfortunately, if it's out of print, the price is, well, as it is.
Good luck.
