Re: New books by Brian Cull

Brian, content is great and I appreciate what you must have gone through to get relevant photos.

Unfortunately, publishers are both ignorant and lazy. Likely some 20+ "art director" said, "Hey we need a photo of pilots walking away from Spitfires", not searching hard enough for more relevant photos of Mk Vs, etc. Typical. These "art directors" are the descendants of those who used P-36s in the 1942 Pearl Harbor movie as "Zeros", Vals, and other types. They assume the average public is really ignorant, and, unfortunately, they are probably right!
