Re: Photo FBA Flying Boat
Well Clint
Part of the answer is provided in column three on page 36 in WDF 124.
The FBA types seems to be intermixed with each other and no real answer is provided so far in the remaining documents found.
Varriale is most likely very aware of what he wrote in 1999 compared to 2007. Maybe he tried too much but had too little space? Also his primary language is Italian...
What would have been much better would have been a WDF about all the FBA flying boats, but then the format would not fit and a special would have been needed.
Unfortunately it seems editing is no longer "in fashion" and only Producers are what counts. There are plenty of books published (Hikoki, Schiffer and so on) where it looks like no one has even bothered to read what they publish....
To me it is quite simple really. If I don't understand what I read, so must plenty of others as well. There are books where the author says one thing on page xx and something different on page yy. There could be a very good reason for that, but as an Editor one has to ask, ask and ask again!
Cheers
Stig
