Excellent news, Gianandrea! I, among others here, will look forward eagerly to your book. If I can help you with writing, I would be glad to do so, for example by identifying the various obscure locations on the Eastern front. Regards, Dan

After all he must, officially at least, been held pretty high since the books are supposed to be the official Italian Air Force's view. Cheers Stig |

Re: Captured crew of Italian plane 16.Nov.41 Ostfront
I'm not at home now so I'll write down some example of the unreliability of this history books when I'll be back.
Arena's books about R. Aeronautica had been edited and printed by ItAF but I think without any control about reliability of their contents. Please note that also "Courage alone" by Chris Dunning is unreliable. I wrote in the nineties the history of the 155° Gruppo of the ItAF (published by GAE as "Pantere - La storia del 155° Gruppo 1941-2001) and, crosschecking it with the page of "Courage alone", I found that this last one contained at least 10 errors. Dan, thank you for your offer. Gianandrea |

Here I am.
I write down only some examples of the errors contained in those books, from the chapters devoted to the air war on the east front because it’s the period I’m studying in these years. 1941 volumeI hope I've given you some effective examples. Ciao Gianandrea |

Re: Captured crew of Italian plane 16.Nov.41 Ostfront
Hi Gianandrea,
thank you very much! From the examples you gave, it is clear that these books contain too many errors to trust the content. It's odd that the official history is so sloppily compiled. This is another reason to wish you success in writing your book. I once read some volumes of Ufficio Storico ... La Marina Italiana nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale, and they seemed quite worthwhile. I hope they are indeed compiled more conscientiously than Arena's volumes. Cheers, Andrey |
