FalkeEins,

Not sure about this, because Gillet only reports French "officially confirmed victories". But, most of the kills recorded after June 5th were not "officially confirmed" because of the débâcle.

BTW, Michelet was banned from all serious French discussion boards for the same reasons.
Furthermore, some people said they paid in advance two years ago for a new book about Galland he was supposed to publish. They still await news from him and none have been able get their money back.

After all of this problem it is hard to believe that any publisher would like to take and publish his book. So.... bitter problems...

thanks Chris - the adverts for the Galland book appeared in Avions in early 2005, with cheques to be cashed on receipt, so in fairness, although that's three years, he's not been sitting on people's cash as long as some ... French speakers can do a google search on 'Invisibles Vainqueurs' (& look for the 'aviation ancienne' forum) for more .....

BTW I've deleted my previous message & edited this one - too many threats of 'legal proceedings' from Michelet - although, Yves, if you're reading this somehow, be aware that a PM containing a mild insult (in response to your insults in a public forum) does not constitute a defamatory statement under libel law, at least not in the UK.

I am sorry that Ruy had to be on the receiving end of his unpleasant rant..

Calling someone an asshole isn't exactly the end of the world, its just a bit rude. If the day comes that court action is taken in such circumstances, instead of social control within the community, it is time to pack up.

In this case I wouldn't worry, as there is more where this came from, even from the past.

Now it's time to move on...
