New GT40 books

John S. Allen has made an announcement regarding a project he is involved in with Ronnie Spain, Mark Cole, and Graham Endeacott.  He terms it the Ultimate GT40 Book in four volumes.  And from his description, it certainly sounds that way.  The announcement was made last week on the Ford GT40 Facebook page.  A search on Facebook for John S. Allen should bring you that page where you can read about some of the details.  There is some hope that Volume 1 will be out by the time of the GT40 reunion in Pittsburgh in July.  The project promises to be quite expensive, but with these authors, I'm sure it won't disappoint.  I'm starting a special account to save enough to buy all four volumes.

The publisher's (Porter Press International) website is: https://porterpress.co.uk/. There is as yet no mention of this project, but I have no reason to doubt John Allen's posting.

That will be interesting. But there are several Books out there about the GT40 which are really good. So I´m not sure if these 4 volumes are just a summary of these Books with some additions?

Kent,

Read the comments to the posting. Seems to indicate that these books will go into considerably more depth than before with lots of never before published information. For those of us that can never seem to get enough, this could be a gold mine. I do have some of the older books by John Allen and Ronnie Spain in my collection and would love to see additional information.
