Franek,

Thanks for the Q. As you rightly conclude I do have a great deal more to offer on the subject of 1940 losses having continued my research since original publication back in 1980. However, I doubt that any publisher would seriously consider a book such as you describe as being commercially viable. Winston Ramsey took an immense risk with BoBT&N and I am just grateful that his faith, not to mention investment, has been justified. But broadening the scope of the work, thus widening its general appeal, no doubt contributed to the perceived lack of focus you mention.

I think we came closer to the type of work you describe in the subsequent Blitz T&N volumes where narrower focus allowed greater level of detail to be included. But even this falls far short of what is now possible. A book encompassing ALL the information as you describe is easily achievable given the current state of my records, but where is the publisher bold enough to tackle such a project ?

All that said, there are plans in hand to make my database available on a website, but you need to be patient as I am currently fully occupied on a companion volume, Battle of France Then & Now. Thanks again for the Q.
