Dear All,

Okay, okay, we've had our fun. Just to show that a book series we all respect, i.e., the 4-volume Me 262 set by Smith & Creek, was also guilty of flagrant chapter titles, I give you the ones from Volume Two:

"This Aircraft is Simply Wonderful"
Me 262 Variants
"The Crucial Factor"
"My God, What was that?"
"In Accordance with the Führer's Orders"

Of the 5, only "Me 262 Variants" actually described plainly what the chapter was all about. You were on your own as to whatever the other chapters were about.

Dorr's book title is clearly flamboyant and undermines any hint that the book can be taken as a serious work. And that, in a nutshell, is the issue as we all do take our favorite subject matter rather seriously. I may end up buying it, not because I expect anything great, but simply because I have a pretty complete collection of Me 262 related books, some of which are even likely lower in self respect.

Regards,
Richard
