1. Authors - very solid, + these pilot almost all fought in IX 39 and soon or later over Britian too.
The subject "air war over Poland in 1939" in fact has no real marketing value on the West and on the East too. No matter.
Only in Poland, but in Poland you have very weak distribution market just now. Such a book have no chanches for selling. Small editors are in fact smashed by Empik or Merlin, which wants to much from them and they do not pay in time too. Total nonsens and vicius circle. It is just a monopol of big, foreign distributors on a Polish book's market.
Quote:
Robert Michulec is not the reason and you know that very well. The problem was existent long before Michulec arrived on the scene. For example in the nineties was planned a German-Polish project with J.B.Cynk as co-autor, but Cynk could not accept German documents (showing another history than Polish patriotic, heroic vision) and left very fast publishing his own version via AJ-Press (in 2000).
The problem is visible every day, even in Polish tv where you are still confronted with bad researched stories like "Bombing Experiment Frampol" or "Wielun 4.40 hours" and so on.
Many publishers cannot imagine the history could be different from that shown on tv.

Not exactly, he had destroyed several personal bridges, it was not smart move as a editor, not smart. It was happend. public money could be found but not with such stupid move on the begining. Much more stupid books are printed with support of public money up to now.
Other thing, earlier project with J.B. Cynk and M. Zimny. Form obvious reason it was impossible to cooperate with J.B. Cynk.
The same problem if you would like to make any kind of cooperation between J. Pawlak and J.B. Cynk - no way, and both are 100% Polish, writing about rhe same, from the same archive, one still live in Pruszków and second in UK (London if I am right, and I hope he still is alive, almost 90?). No way to cooperate for years.
I do not make any discution about low level of history presented on TV (no matter Polish or other nation) - waste of time. Level - lower the low.
