New book 'Fury', by Arnaud Gillet

[Iain Torrance]

Just to say got the final version of Arnaud's book. Great bit of research and for me the story and conclusions are very credible. Pleased to have assisted Arnaud in a very small way.

Hi Iain

Tell us more! What is the subject? Is it in French or English?

Cheers
Brian

I was thinking that-Hawker Fury perhaps?

[Peter Cornwell]

Fingers out gentlemen. This is Gillet's long-anticipated account of events over Sedan on May 14, 1940, (see TOCH post by Arnaud dated April 3, 2010). We still await Many Souffan's alternative version of events but if this has already been published (possibly in 'Avions' ?) then I apologise for having overlooked the fact.

[Chris Goss]

Ah that makes things clear which the original posting did not (unless one already knew which Brian & myself & no doubt others did not)

[CJE]

The "fury's head" (from a famous painting by Michelangelo) was the insignia of one escadrille of GC III/7, involved (after Gillet) in the shooting of friendly aircraft over Sedan on that fateful day.
I'd have rather called it the "spitfire's head", but it could have been still more misleading...

Strangely Sensitive indeed

For me the common currency (Spirit?) of this forum should be courtesy and a focus on facts.

If you review my posts on this forum that is what I have sought to do.

The facts are - Peter was the only member asked for 'the evidence', he suggested private message, and I have no idea how to upload an annotated word file to a post.

I suggest that next time you have such an issue you post a more polite message, having first taken the truble to get the facts.

Lastly, more generally, I have found some of the posts on this thread more personal and emotional than necessary. Emotions get in the way of good judgement, so this member at least would prefer more moderation in the tone of the posts.

Kind regards

Iain,

Many thanks for the confirmation - I am totally satsfied that it was P2195 photographed burned out at Artaise. I will, of course, be pleased to compare notes with you on other Battles down in France in 1940 and am happy to do so 'off-line' as you suggest. Thanks again.

Hello Ian.

I don't know if it's too much for you, I would like also to see this évidence with your photo. Naturally, if you want.

I think I am concerned as the same level as Peter with this thread. So I can send you my private email by PM.

Thank you.

[Iain Torrance]

Sure Many, no problem, will send to you straight away.

Kind regards

Iain
