[Ruy Horta]

There is a difference between a mistake and a lie.

mistake: wrong action or statement

lie: an untrue statement made with intent to deceive

Here you are on a public forum accusing an author of making untrue statements with the intent to deceive? Why such a harsh approach and based on what evidence? How many authors do you actually consider to be profesional liars?

Perhaps there are also lies in the Japanese cruiser book, but you failed to notice them? Tons of details can easily overwhelm, doesn't mean that it is all correct. The main difference mighty simply be that you know your aircraft better than your Japanese cruisers.

Your choice of words was poor and I'll have to ask everyone to think before writing down such words.
