rubbish .....part of the very first sentence of Achs' commentary reads (quickly, cos I can't be bothered to translate it word-for-word for you..) " .. here's proof that non-Germans can't write about German aircraft...". AFAIK Medcalf wouldn't even consider himself an "historian", he's an engineer, that's the approach this first volume takes...unfortunately with his typos he leaves himself open to the charge by the likes of Achs that as he doesn't know German - or indeed is not a German - he's somehow incompetent...
