Re: Kagero books

Yes, they are heavy but get a Fw 190 vol. I booklet, open it on p. 25 and compare Schroedter's account with the one published at Caldwell's JG 26 vol I. p.187-188. This is a sample (my favourite) of both horrible English and plagiarism, not alone unfortunatelly.
Beware and avoid - definetelly! I have had enough problems in obtaining documents and photos just because some people decided to stop their contacts with Polish researchers after ripping of their works. Also, I am awared of a least one case, when Kagero's activities (publishing with copyright's violation) blocked a publication of a fully legal article by an actual author.
To make this even more funny, in one of recent Kagero's publications, there was a very minor, though extremally clear case of quoting my work without noticing it in bibliography. Nonetheless, I am not going to sue them - I have had enough laugh of that by myself and friends.
PS No, I find nothing interesting there for me.
