New He 219 Book from Wingleader.

I'm not going to comment on the book. There's plenty I could say about Ferguson, in fact I"m itching to, but I will refrain.

Our book is being written by Marcel Hogenhuis, Kjetil Aakra and Martin Streetly, and we have had significant help from many other people. A lot of the book will be based on hundreds of pages of primary sources that Ferguson didn't have. Our book will also examine Czech and Russian machines, will have the finest scale drawings and plans, colour profiles and over 400 photos and images from Eddie Creek's archive. Marcel is writing the operational history of NJG 1 and to some extent other units. We hope the effort will be worth it.

I'm sure there'll be a thread about your book when it appears. Seems a bit churlish of you not to acknowledge that Wingleader and their author have done an excellent job on this. I know you have a 'thing' about 'unpublished' images and there's gonna be far fewer of those now in your book, but I'm sure that won't stop enthusiasts buying it (..as it would not have that JG title...). This book will surely only make yours better..

So as we are talking about photos and nobody mentioned it... Photos are of awful quality! It's quite an unpleasant surprise for a book at this price.

Nothing to do with the guys at wingleader mate, more to do with Ferguson as a person. Much more going on behind the scenes than you might be aware of, but given my comments on The ‘other thread’ Yesterday I am very wary of airing dirty laundry in public. I am sure wingleader have done a fantastic job, and I have spoken with them extensively about friend Ferguson.
