Re: Unknown He 51 Emblem

Hello, Franck

I am not telling anyone, I merely stated that a plain dismissal of information voluntered on this board underbuilt by original documentation referencing a publication can be perceived as rude.

It is not a big deal - and I do not know if Sidney was misinterpreted. I thought that communities like this was created to share knowledge, not only on specific data and established facts, but also on methodology used to obtain these facts.

My intention, and my native language as for a lot of people here not English, was merely to say to Sidney that it is possible to think what he did in this instance without stating that new information must be wrong as it was not the same as has been published earlier.

We have numerous examples of books, articles etc being published with the same erronous information because the authors use reference works which are outdated.

I do not believe that to be the case for the Jagdverbände series, but there is a reason publications have errata! (And a reason why those of us that put out publications try to read our manuscripts over and over - and get colleagues to do the same)

I also do not quite get the full meaning of your message, but have problems seeing what I have done to be told to go to hell?

I lived in Hell, Norway - close to Værnes airfield in Norway - as a child, but have no plans to visit in the near future.

Regards and take it easy - I was only asking for some respect with regards to the work of a friend,

Andreas B
