In my mind, if you had a problem with me, you simply had to write or to call me by phone. I am not stupid and I would have been pleased to talk about this.
Here, I simply created a topic concerning history, asking about several POWs. I absolutely did not wanted to quarrel in such a unhappy and infantile way – that’s for sure.

I published this book and it’s a very good one. This polemic is completely fool, because you have never read a single page of this book.
Your words about the “tribute to the man who wrote” are simply offensive and coarse, and they speak for themselves.

I am sorry for this incredible debate and I have no excuse for the other users for this silly show – I consider closed this topic. Thank you all and best regards.

Thank you very much Dave and Ian,

Very, very interesting indeed.

I would like to underline that it is not correct, nor professional, to criticize a research without reading before its pages.
My book almost reaches 500 pages and covers very hard times, between August and November 1943: I spent infinite nights looking for books and ORBs, but above all I travelled a lot, interviewing aged witnesses, researchers, professors and so on.
I kindly started my presence in this forum persuaded about a Lancaster wreck, as you all know, only because of a previous book who suggested this plane. Then, I discovered it was not true. I also found this Lancaster in Milan!, so this book tells the story of two planes and wrecks.

In the end, I repeat, ALL the contributors, helpers and friends of this nice research – like Kev himself, Linzee Druce and many, many others – are cited and remembered in my book. I am not ungrateful; anyway, it is not serious to criticize a work without reading it before.
Kev and an other editor kindly proposed to me to write in common something about my research, an article or an essay.
Being very busy and still having to close my research, then to finish my book, I kindly refused at the time; I also did not wanted to work without a minimal wage. I still have all the PM and e-mail of the case. Probably, this is the reason of the unhappy welcome I received in this topic.
I am sorry if this caused disappointment, but that is the way it is and I am a serious, graduated researcher, not a foolish or ungrateful one. 🙂

It would be very nice to translate this research in English, because it mainly refers to Canadian, British, Australian, Irish aviators and planes. Anyway, I suppose this eventual translation to concern above all my editor. I would be pleased to get you in touch with him, if so. 🙂

Thanks again for all your help,

Marco

Thanks Jon,

Let’s see if the book will works, too..! 🙂
