43 pages, any of them worth reading?

I see stern is doing his passive aggressive stuff again.

Re the initial statement - yes, if defeat equals failure to meet objectives. Bungay's "most dangerous enemy" is a great read, and a very good handling of the topic that strips away other british account's bias. As to it's academic value, well considering the number of flight sim history buffs who recommend it... Got to have some value. Only an idiot would dismiss it without reading it.

Wellum and Steinhilper's books are superb first hand accounts, and give a texture to one's understanding, but should not be referred to as an historical analysis.
