Hi Chris,


I recall, long ago, getting a book with a damaged back cover. A neighbor knew about my interest in German airplanes and had passed it on to my mother who gave it to me. I remember being astonished to see a photo of an Me-163 for the first time. I had no idea.

So, in order to keep new blood flowing into a hobby for some and a serious research effort for others, general interest books are, in my view, a must. We need that casual reader to grow into that true researcher of tomorrow. And it seems new documents and photos continue to turn up, just as I see new photos from the First World War turn up from time to time.


Just my two cents,


Ed
