Re: Latest from Michael Balss.

Thanks for a very helpful update Andreas

Does the losses include "Schulen" as well?
When it comes to claims, do we only get the fighter pilots view or are also gunner's claims included?

It is a bit unfortunate (in my opinion) he continues to use the same presentation style as in his night fighter books, since it creates a lot of unused space, and that much more volumes.

By simply undertaking a project, which now seems to involve perhaps up to 40 volumes in all, is a huge task. I don't know Michael's age, but I would say 60+ rather than 60- (unless he started collecting data already in his teens)

The project must by necessity stretch over many years and if the financial gain is so small, other incentives must hopefully then prevail.

I wish Michael every luck with this mammoth task. I will buy the first three volumes and compare them with what I now have ( I have bought and been given some of the loss records)

Cheers
Stig
