Battle of Brtitain Books
It's not vitriol, it's called stating facts. And that is something you did not do, Steve, when you dismissed British aviation publishing by saying the quality died when MCP was taken over by Ian Allan.
As well as pointing you in the direction of Stephen Bungay's excellent book, I will also proffer the following: Andy Saunders: Bader's last flight Stuka attack, The dive bombing assault on England during the Battle of Britain Convoy Peewit: Blitzkrieg from the air and sea * August 1940 and a whole host of others. Chris Goss Luftwaffe fighter-bombers over Britain: The tip and run campaign 1942-1943 Junkers Ju 88 the Luftwaffe's most versatile aircraft Jagdgeschwader 53 'Pik-As' Bf 109 Aces of 1940 Combat over the Mediterranean: The RAF in action against the Germans and Italians and a whole host of others. The Red Kite series of: Luftwaffe Crash Archive (12 volumes) Battle of Britain Archive (presently 5 volumes and quite a few more to go) and the other works Red Kite have published. Brian Cull Battle for the Channel, The first month of the Battle of Britain 10 July - 10 August 1940 (which includes comprehensive details of the e-boat activity which supported the aerial assault on British Channel shipping) Two more volumes to come, I believe. Christer Bergström The Battle of Britain, An epic conflict revisited. A book which not only calls into question the previously held beliefs about Göring, but also strives to set the record straight concerning the performance of the Bf 110 in the Battle when considered alongside the three other main fighters, and the respective claims and losses of all four. There are others... So you see, Steve, when the hard evidence is actually presented, your contention that (and you wrote it, nobody else) '...the quality of British aviation book publishing died when MCP were bought out by Ian Allan...' is shown to be completely without foundation. I have to say I find it a disgrace that such a contention was made in the first place, because it denigrates the authors I have mentioned above, as well as denigrating those publishers who have supported the authors throughout their travails.
