Re: The Last Blitz- Operation Steinbock Book

Could it be bettered? I was reading the sample pages on Red Kite's site today and noticed:
  • "A distinctive and necessary seed-change" — I think they meant "sea-change"
  • "carring 500 pound bombs" — "carrying"
  • "Soesterburg" — "Soesterberg"
  • "only one of the five man aboard survived" — "men"
  • "masonary" — "masonry"
I know how hard it is to get everything right but if you're going to put up preview pages — excellent idea — it's as well not to have mistakes on them, I'd imagine.

(The information looks good though!)

I received the book this afternoon and having just checked the above points I can confirm that Points 1, 2 & 5 have had the errors corrected while Points 3 & 4 remain. It does look like a very good book and has arrived just in time as I finished my last book just yesterday!
