Re: New Arado 234 / KG 76 Book 'Blitz Bombers' - Eddie J. Creek & Robert Forsyth

Many thanks for the observations regarding Chapter One. Disappointing that there are such blatant inaccuracies and accusations of plagiarism.

I have this expensive book on order to and now feel like one has been ripped off. Considering what is happening worldwide - concerns about a book’s content may sound trifling. However the integrity of the authors and of the publisher must be questioned.

Regards

Paul

Perhaps worth noting that of the two other books cited by INM@RLM, mine acknowledged the help of Eddie Creek and Robert Forsyth; the DeZeng/Stankey also thanked them in the preface for their contributions.

How dare you question my integrity, or that of my authors? And who exactly are you accusing of plagiarism here?
Once you've plowed £20k+ and a year's worth of time into a project, I would be happy to read the results of your labours. In fact I wait with bated breath.

As for INM@RLM or whatever you're called, the furious editing of your original comments cannot erase the supercilious tone, nor the five (!) emails you sent me regarding this matter, in which every accusation under the sun was levelled at my writing team, bar the Kennedy assassination and 9/11. I could post the comments you made here but, you know, 'integrity' and all that.

There are ways of communicating that errors have been made in books without resorting to personal attacks on public forums. Positive criticism and discussion is welcomed, anything else makes you look kind of stupid.

Style of the criticism aside - I would be interested if either you and/or the authors could comment on the actual substance of INM@RLM's criticisms. I bought Martin Pegg's excellent Hs 129 book you published, and I'm very likely to purchase the KG 76 title as well, but I'd still appreciate a reply to the substance of the criticism INM@RLM leveled at the book.
