I would agree but you attempted to write a story of the campaign rather than the air force. You continuously reffer to both the Polish airmen and the Polish sources, the latter being a really interesting mix. Your comment was extremally clear, that you do not see the point(!) to research Polish archives, as it was already done by others, and that the books are good enough source. Nothing more wrong, as PAF was only partially researched and the published sources quote only parts of available documents. Comment especially ridiculous in spite of your accusations of Mr Cynk, that he did not use any primary German documents.

I read about the III/4 documents in Cynk`s book and didn`t ignored them. Who tell you I did? (by the way Cynk was digging in the Sikorski Institute). I`m very sorry, but there was nothing that could changed my statements about claimed or lost German aircraft.
Oh, I have learned that the one may not expect you change your statements. The point is that there are Polish documents and they do show

What do you mean with Pniak`s report? Was there something different? Do you mean the aircraft he has seen (Do 17)?
He has seen twin engined aircraft and this and other documents strongly suggest those were Me 110s.

I asked for an example concerning my book, not the article on III/4. I sent an answer to Lotnictwo, did you get it?
You wrote you are not trusting my research in Jagdflieger, right?
I wrote about your research in general. I have received your reply and even answered to it but I was told that you withdraw your letter. No wonder.
