A slightly different POV, if you will...
First off, I would never call myself a "historian", per se (particularly on
this web site!), except insofar as it pertains to my interests.
What I
am is an artist in the midst of transitioning from traditional forms of art to computer graphics. I am also a poet and occasional writer (published offline as well as online).
Yes - I use a pseudonym online, not to protect my privacy [sidebar: my email addy is - I believe - viewable, and since I've used the same internet name (jimkirk2) since the beginning of the internet, anyone who is interested can google me...), but because "RangerJimK" is how I log onto Computer Graphics boards as well as on FB (although I'm "RangerJim.Kirk" there:
http://tinyurl.com/yzpla2x ).
Why am I here? Because, as an artist, I demand accuracy in whatever I do - poetry, stories or art - and in the short time I've been here, I have been highly impressed with the scholarship demonstrated here (or at least on the "Luftwaffe and Allied" forums - haven't checked the others yet).
I've been doing a bit of research on the He 111 recently and have come up with some interesting information on the torpedo and Fi-103 launching variants and the hardware used to carry them.
Now, as I believe that I've mentioned somewhere, I'm both a former US Army Intelligence Analyst and a former US Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. I either have or can get access to information about WW II Luftwaffe and Allied dropped ordnance and fuzing.
But if anyone doesn't care to use me as a possible source, well all I can say is "Tut mir leid, dass", eh?
