Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain
In the interest of further clarity, a few thoughts. People with and without academic credentials/degrees have produced good history books. Period.
I have seen too much evidence online of quick, sloppy work being posted with the intent of contributing something. It doesn't. It's just some bored or somewhat interested person who has no idea of how much work is involved when doing actual research. There are no shortcuts. There never will be.
The methods of doing research properly and turning that work into a written book can never change.
