Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain

NICK BEALE,

Thanks for the new information about her sources, which, at least, as you said, do give her a lot of credit indeed. What she did with the information as you wrote, is another point.

And JOHN VASCO pointed out something that can not be changed. Historically, there seems to be an error as to the date she inform about the introduction or first JABO sorties, which Mr. VASCO informed and, do prove onto his book, that it was much earlier, since July....So, that's a negative point, in my view....it seems she neglected Historical data here, or wrote a piece of information that is not, Historically true (I mean the correct date).

Anyway, we can only judge, as Nick put in fair and honest words, just after reading it and pointing the errors, vis-a-vis what has been already published, officially (RAF, LW Documents) and non-officially (other reference books, like Zerstörer, the Battle of Britain then and Now, etc.)...and sincerely, as Human Beings, we all are suscetible to make mistakes, even a Miss with a PhD in History, or acknowleadgeable and published Historians.
