Olham Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Everyone and their dog are writing their memoirs these days - so I thought to myself: why not me? Printers and publishers fight a tough battle for markets. They even have spies, and one such spy found out, that Dej as well as RAF_Louvert are planning to write a book about their numerous adventures during their OFF campaigns. So I had to be quicker, and really - we have the title done today. Well, almost. My publishers are yet trying to work out a deal with OBD Software about the use of the OFF-Emblem. So far, I heard that Winder wantes a whole case of 24 year old Scotch Single Malt Whisky, while Pol wants additional hours per day for sleeping, and completing WOFF. My publishers now try to find ways how to achieve that. Here's my book, Dej and Lou - beat that - Mmuahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!! Edited June 24, 2012 by Olham Quote
JimAttrill Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Please tell us who are those pilots? I recognise only a few of them Edited June 24, 2012 by JimAttrill Quote
Hauksbee Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 You just know this is going to be a juicy, tell-all book. Quote
Hasse Wind Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 My OFF autobiography would be like McCudden's Five Years in the Royal Flying Corps - the main character dies before the war is over. Quote
Cody Coyote Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Nice Olham. Will there be an English language version? Quote
angles1100 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Lol great stuff i'm not sure but I bet some of those guys are related cheers Quote
Olham Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Nice Olham. Will there be an English language version? Not sure yet, Cody - Norman Franks and Peter Kilduff are fighting about the rights! Quote
Hasse Wind Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Lol great stuff i'm not sure but I bet some of those guys are related A big family with several brothers serving as pilots maybe? Quote
Olham Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 A big family with several brothers serving as pilots maybe? Quite close! People with multiple personalities can have quite a big family. That might also explain, why there are so many ghosts round our house. Mmuahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!! Quote
Bullethead Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I expect an autographed copy, in return for a copy of my OFF memoir, "Fee? Fie! Ho-hum... I smell the burning flesh of an Englishman" :). Quote
RAF_Louvert Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 . They even have spies, and one such spy found out, that Dej as well as RAF_Louvert are planning to write a book about their numerous adventures during their OFF campaigns. You are more correct than you know, mein Freund. As to your book Olham, and yours as well BH, I will of course be expecting autographed advanced copies of each. . Quote
Olham Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 As soon as either Kilduff or Franks have translated it, I will sign copies for you guys. Well, and as soon as my many egos have fought out, wether I will sign as Wolfram Harms, Werner Jeschonnek or Alfred... - aerh... - what's the matter? Aw, shut up, Juergen Mahlow, I know you are there too; I know you are all keen on signing the book! Guys, sorry, now they have stolen my pen... Come here, you gawd-damn lot! Here! ... Quote
von Baur Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Well, I don't know who they are, but #11 and #15 look as thought they'd just sat on a pickelhaube. And #5 looks like he put it there. Quote
angles1100 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Now I dont want to spread any rumors but...... I heard theres a movie offer as well , dare I say "Von Olham and Brown" . cheers Quote
Crossbones Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Great job guys. I really enjoyed a good laugh. Crossbones Quote
Wayfarer Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Olham, just out of interest, which would be your favourite photograph out of all these very fine fliers? Quote
Olham Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Impossible for me to say - there are at least 5 I like best, Wayfarer. Quote
