Dear Frank ,

I have just finished reading your really excellent book about RAF activities during the fall of France, which in most respects seems to have been thoroughly well researched. However whilst this may already have been pointed out, on page 83, & page 239, you refer to the Germans using an MP44 sub machine gun. This would not have been possible in 1940 since

A) the gun in question was an assault rifle, and
B) it was not produced until 1944. the machine pistol in use at that time was an MP38/40, and in the event that the book is reprinted it would be good to correct this error. this may be considered a pedantic point , but in all other respects the book is a truly masterly work.

Yours sincerely,

David Thurgood.
