At this point I feel obliged to plug my own work about the 14/15 May 1944 raid on Bristol which completely failed to find the city: http://www.ghostbombers.com/kf4/West/bristol1.html |
I realize that my "much clearer understanding" remark inadvertently dissed the authors of all the existing works on Operation Steinbock, including:
- Nick Beale on his "Ghost Bombers" site
- Ron MacKay "The Last Blitz"
- After the Battle "The Blitz Then and Now, Vol. 3"
- Ken Wakefield "Pfadfinder"
- Edmund Blandford "Target England"
- Alfred Price "Blitz on Britain"
amongst others. My apologies to all concerned!
Here's hoping Chris Goss will be able to put out that expanded version of his Osprey title at some point in the near future. It's likely to be the definitive account.
