was: Forthcoming book on JG 5 ace Walter Schuck (copy of original thread)

As a published author, I find your comments strange also. Of course, when certain concrete facts are not known, the author uses words like "likely'" "possibly" and "it seems reasonable to conclude," and "according to such and such report."

Perhaps you have read one or more bad history books where it was not clear what could be verified and what could not. And even that word "verified" still needs to refer to a contemporary document and/or photo. You raise some good points but I, for one, would be interested in what you have to say after this book is released.
