Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain

Carsten, I believe this is a milestone too, but in a broader sense and aspect. When the OLD EAGLES like John Vasco, Chris Goss, Nick Beale, Christer Bergström, J-L Roba, J-Y Lorant, Dilip Sarkar, Erick Monbeeck and others like them, who HAD direct access to the RAF, LW and WW2 aircrew veterans will make their "last landing" (and I do hope they will reach 100+ like some Bomber Command and LW veterans, so we can enjoy reading more from them); who is gonna take the flame and toch? This Miss, even with her PhD and other Academical tittles seems to have not matched the "Old" standard, as far as I have read here...so we are talking about the futur of Aeronautical and Military Aviation Publication (and research)....and for me this is the "face" of the new Generation, although we have seen some FANTASTIC and "outside the curve" writers and researchers, like OLROG, BREKKEN, KJETIL, some French writers....so I see a good futur in the hands of those who will take care of, and inherit the "flame" and tradition of the old eagles (Bowman, Middlebrook, Bolitho, etc.) and those who are still on the "circuit", but not so young....
