Been out of this area for a while. Is the database publicly available?

Re: Barry Rosch's database
Andy: Do we even know what happened to Barry R.? I haven't heard from him or seen any posts by him in 17 years or so. Is he still with us?

Re: Barry Rosch's database
Barry Rosch turned 80 last year and all his collection and work is in my capable hands to continue his quest.
And no the database is not available publicly. Regards, Norbert |
Re: Barry Rosch's database
That was a relief Norbert
If you are in contact with him, give him by best regards and thanks. Never been in contact with him myself, but I owe him a lot! Take Care Stig |
Re: Barry Rosch's database
Will do Stig

Re: Barry Rosch's database
Thanks for the update, Norbert. I worked closely with him on his Luftwaffe Verband publication from 1995 to 2001 or 2002, gave him copies of my notes on small and minor Luftwaffe units and even stayed at his house in Cary/NC for a weekend once or twice. Then we got into a row a couple of years later over publication rights and broke off contact.
You said: "...........to continue his quest." Can you elaborate on that? Do you mean Luftwaffe codes and markings? L. |
Re: Barry Rosch's database
Thanks Larry. Anyway, his quest is the database that he has been working on for most of his life. l will continue this work.
Best Regards, Norbert |
Re: Barry Rosch's database
Got it, Norbert. Thanks again.

Re: Barry Rosch's database
Nice to know he´s well. I have the LV from number 1 (January 1995) to number 41 (January 2005) Unfortunatelly I missed the last ones (I guess 42 to 45). It was great to read all magazines with interesting articles and the photo caption info given by members.

Re: Barry Rosch's database
Nick,
the database is an an access format that has a table for each make and model aircraft. Each table has information from losses, production, Flugbücher, documents and so forth published and from the archival sources. Each table has columns for the manufacturer, factory, type, WNr., codes and markings, unit, location, date, how the information was obtained, the source of the information, loss information and crew information if available. It also has tables about airfields and locations, units, Feldpostnummern, codes and so forth. It is very elaborate reference tool and easily searchable. I hope this helped a little. The project started shortly before the end of the Luftwaffe Verband. It was and still is a small group of contributors with Barry acting as the manager of the data. For example the Bf 109 table has 94450 entries alone. Regards, Norbert |
Re: Barry Rosch's database

Re: Barry Rosch's database
Hi
Barry widely distributed his Database and I have a copy. This DB however is not worth publishing I find it useful as he spent a lot of time adding QM6 losses Tony |
