Drive to Victory
After more years than I care to count, 'Drive to Victory' (volume 1) has been sent to the printers. Look for deliver in mid-April.

Excellent news! Does it include photo(s) of the rare Mack NR 14 with mounted crane as used by RCE road construction companies,too?
Will you have an european distributor, or is it best to order from you overseas? Regards, Juergen Kurz from Salzburg / Austria |

Okay.....love the book! Great job Clive. A couple of points....P.225 shows a Lorry 3 Ton GS 158 WB with 5F1,5W1,5W4 bodies. To me, it appears to be a 134 WB with a 4A1 GS body.....Fords in the top photos, Chev in the lower one.
Also, being a fan of the Ward Lafrance M1A1 Heavy Wrecker I was looking forward to seeing it in the Wrecker section. They were used apparently by the Railway Operating Coys of the RCE. I'm looking forward to Vol 2. Cheers, Neil |

How time flies.........
....I believe his collection was purchased by a Militaria dealer from Toronto..... whose name I can't recall.
Not sure if that included copyrights of existing manuals and/or drafts or partial drafts of volume 2...... Clive left so suddenly that a lot of pet projects got dropped very sad. His son who is in the Cdn service and might have some answers. Very few around left that have the dedication to see such a project through. I must say I do miss the old fella.....even if younger than me!!!
