Re: Warplanes of the 3rd Reich

Like many books of the 70s, it contains real gems and a lot of errors the author cannot blamed for, because he worked on what archives was available.
Green had the talent to make the reader "feel" each aircraft, its idiosyncrasy as he used to say (a word I didn't even know the meaning in French at that time...). He was kind of a psychologist of warplanes.
Warplanes of the Third Reich is and will remain a milestone in the history of military aviation.

By the way, do you know if William Green is still around?
