Second TAF Volume 2

Received yesterday this book and as usual one is looking first in the sections which are most interesting for the reader.
Having done so I have to admit that this publication is disappointing. I will mention a few examples for that statement!
11 October 1944 S/Ch. Dubois (P) but in reality he was killed in his plane and recoverd from wreckage 22 October (and buried 30 October in Kortrijk).

And look into 11 September 1944 when No.2 Group bombed the village of Breskens with desastrous results for population and German troops but not even a single word about that operation which was carried out by 72 medium bombers! On the other hand recce missions with little or no results receive credits.
Just one mission not mentioned but many more important operations are omitted as well.

Third one: the naming of cities and villages. In two sentences next to each other Nijmegan and Nijmegen and that is repeated with many other places and examples can be found on every page.
Crash-locations ditto in many cases!
In my opinion it is not worth the money and equals FCL in error.
