To put it to you bluntly, Peter Cornwell on his own could lay claim to that. Add my 45 years of research and knowledge acquired on the Bf 110, together with the contacts made and information obtained from both sides (including the RAF side), and COLLECTIVELY, I would invite you to tell me which person, or group of people, can surpass that collective knowledge on events of 1940.

As for dialing things down from '11' (love the Spinal Tap reference), I believe a certain work out this year has dialled things up WAY beyond 11. Rock 'n roll!

Only one author I'm aware of can make claim, false and grandiose that it is.

These are from the pdf final proof, so are not as sharp as they will be in the book.

A couple more sample pages from the book, being published later this month.
