Country:  | Surprising that the author is letting it go to press when he is not happy with it. I am curious to see what it will have, and how bad it will be. Maybe I am cynical, but I have never been impressed with their layouts, and some of the content.

Country:  | ..as Erich says Osprey made an approach to do this subject years ago after one of their editors read a " Sturmgruppen Bomber Destroyers 1944" article I wrote based on the website materials..I was approached again for photos in February but was unable to help...tied up with the JG 300 books. The Osprey author hadn't got much in the way of sources..aside from a couple of German language books there's little out there.. that just leaves writing the pilots ..even here Jean-Yves Lorant (Eagle Editions JG 300 author) has this completely sown up..(and many vets passed away during the research period for the Eagles books....)
The Osprey author has put a text together ..but the impetus for the book came from the sales side..and given that his earlier western front Fw 190 aces book wasn't one of his best IMHO (how can you write a Fw 190 aces text without mentioning Konrad Bauer once..)..doesn't bode well.. | |

Country: | Nightfighter is a tough call, as the evidence and, as u have stated erich previously, the facts are slightly out of focus... Theres a couple that were the tops tho.... Maybe a new Thread my freind?
I also agree with u and Herr Bar...

The work you guys have done is great. I have learned so much from Erich here and I hope I am albe to learn much from you also. I am one of those people that knows a little about a lot not a lot about a lot, and I hope to learn more. You can learn a lot from reading books and the internet but I am always fascinated how you guys get some of your info. Thanks of everything.
