[Laurent Rizzotti]

Larry, about your last point, my personal opinion is that Shores is very thorough in covering air-to-air battles and attacks on ships but will usually not study the attacks on ground targets and their effects. Best example of this tendency is his 2nd TAF series, that are very useful to know the losses and victories of the air units but will only list ground targets and how they were hit here and there, while they were the main targets of 2nd TAF.

That air attacks on Palestine are not well covered by Shores books is so not surprising IMHO, as they are not his main interest and they are hard to put in one of his books, as they are outside the time frame for the Syria campaign described in "dust clouds" and geographically out of the area concerned by his other books.
