Problem is that most aviation historians have no practical aviation experience. In fact, the vast majority of books on aviation history are written by interested amatures who don't have a background in either history or aviation.
What I have said about the Operating Notes is technically, historically, and whatever else you want to attach to the word, "CORRECT". I don't care if you believe it, hate it, or love it.

In order: wrong, as I have explained to Crumpp -
twice- but I'm probably on his "ignore" list (awww I'm devastated!)
Crumpp shows that "having practical aviation experience" doesn't make for a good historian - just someone who thinks he's right about everything, and Crumpp clearly has no idea of what good historical research entails because he doesn't know how to handle anything that goes against his own beliefs.
Wrong - again - in so many ways. Crumpp cannot be bothered with other people's opinions and cannot be bothered re-examining his own predetermined POV in spite of everything that has been presented in this exceedingly lengthy thread; there is no point trying to reason with this ahistorical chump because he just repeats the same arguments over and over, regardless of any inconvenient facts that happen to get in the way.
