Re: Date convention

The points about using a format to suit a database are well taken (as I eventually learned when working on a book that was stored as about 250 files named for dates!)

However, when talking about the Luftwaffe, I think there's an argument for using the format they normally used: DD MM YY. We Europeans understand it at least!
