Re: 1939-45 airpower and professional historians

Grozibou,



Thank you for your detailed reply. As I mentioned, I would certainy use TOCH! and LEMB as resources if I were planning to publish but what about new authors? Those who have been buried in documents and archives but do not know or trust the internet very much? That was the question.

I am tired of reading about the many (obvious to experts and even casual researchers) errors in books after they are published. In fact, I am tired of the incomplete information on the History Channel, but the goal on TV is to sell "content" (a stupid word. A bag of potato chips has content.) Accuracy does not seem to matter as much as I think it should.

I have a relatively large library and have spent some years collecting information. Perhaps I will publish one day but my interest is on the fringes of World War II research. We'll see.



Best,
Ed
