Re: Walter Schuck book available in Finish

Kari, take a look at the link Horst provided. It clearly mentions "260 photos".

As for Valtonen´s footnoting, it must be borne in mind that we are mostly dealing with MEMOIRS where adding footnoting borders on forgery.

What is even more funny is that for some reason Koala (=Lassi Eskola) tolerates footnotes in Valtonen´s translations, but no footnoting can be found in e.g. Matti Hämäläinen´s bomber squadron histories or Jukka Piipponen´s pilot biographies*. Especially on the former proper source noting would be important. I asked the publisher why don´t these books have footnote apparatus and the response was that "Koala´s average reader consider them obtrusive". So where is the logic in Koala´s footnoting policy?

*Piipponen seems to be the Finnish Franz Kurowski, with invented dialogue etc.
