Book projects? None, unless you count the translation work I’ve done for Theo Boiten and Rod McKenzie’s Nachtjagd War Diaries series. I don’t think the public is ready for my completely unillustrated blockbuster “Total Failure: Luftwaffe Airborne Jamming 1942–44”! |

I'm interested in the SCW, too. Do you think we will ever know the final offical total of Lakeev or all decimals of the shared kills of Gritsewets ? Cheers, Michael |

Re: OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES layout: never change a winning team
Agreed. I’d settle for a Bf109 vs I16 too. I’ve requested both of those a couple of times via their website request a title option.

Re: OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES layout: never change a winning team
Can you tell me if more I-15's or more I-16's served in the Spanish Civil War ?

Re: OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES layout: never change a winning team
Ivan Lakeev's Spanish Civil War score is sometimes indicated as 12+16sh.
https://warheroes.ru/hero/hero.asp?Hero_id=1172#not The first 2+2sh kills are known. http://www.soviet-aces-1936-53.ru/abc/l/lakeev.htm That makes it quite likely, that he's the top scorer of the calendar year 1937, see also: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...ear#post258379 |

Re: OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES layout: never change a winning team
I work in book publishing so a little perspective if I may. When the mail or telephone were the only way to reach us, we got requests for various books, meaning ideas for future titles.
These were compiled for future consideration. Sometimes, a few ideas were selected and the books were produced. The internet has created two problems: 1) The utterly fake idea that being uncivil was OK. 2) One poster asking for something or even two, and us not following through and producing a book based on two suggestions meant we "weren't listening." Since there are no, or few actual, real names being used, this creates a bad precedent. As a moderator on our message board, I see advertising links embedded in honest sounding questions. Such posts are immediately deleted. A lack of a human voice or signed letter creates a situation where people are disconnected. I do not regard this as a good thing.

Had a look at the cover of OSPREY's "Bf 109 Jabo Units in the West" which will be published at the German amazon in May.
The artwork really looks awesome! |
