@Artemisapphire @DudespostingWs Seems like an apocryphal tale.

@SpectrumNez @CommodoreBlog The most striking and atmospheric videogame of that era.

@DiamantinoHlde1 The original planned release date was in 2021. But it took significantly longer to research and write than expected. So its a bit late... but we were unable to get Amazon to update the listing.

Just finished writing this, topping out at ~220,000w and ~450 images. It's essentially a comprehensive overview of German bomber development during WW2, including all the unbuilt projects, all the blind alleys, all the arguments, all the backstabbing and all the tech.

Buy this book, Dan follows the same research methodolgy I use and it is so simple it remains somehow bereft of prizes,

1) Read all the archive information
2) See what it says
3) Put it in the book

This book will undoubtedly make many people who have ideas based on reading books written by people who have never bothered reading all the German Air Ministry stenographic records furious, as it may reveal all sorts of inconvenient facts.

@TheRealDanSharp is a criminally under-rated historian and researcher, and the best his critics can come up with on forums is that he writes so much that it cant possibly be correct.

Dan was my Editor for THE SECRET HORSEPOWER RACE, and I can tell you with total conviction that the reason he writes so much is that he`s just REALLY F***ing good and has inhuman concentration combined with hitman grade journalism skills.

Buy ! Buy now !

@feelgood_doktor When you have access to company documents, Luftwaffe documents and RLM documents, you get a fully rounded picture of what was happening, which wasn't available to those who were actually there. The picture that emerges is somewhat different to the 'traditional' history.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@pehlke_rainer It's three times longer and with twice as many images. And the three-times-longer text is all new. And all the hundreds of primary sources used are fully cited.

@AlanGuerzoni That game inspired me to read German projects books in the early 1990s but they were pretty vague and contradictory. Years later, I thought it'd be fun to see if I could find the original German wartime documents and work out the truth for myself. Hence this, and my other, books.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@AeroPaleo @wildbluejester The writing of it was pretty linear tbh. But the doctrine which many historians seem to think informed or even dictated bomber development actually went out the window almost as soon as WW2 began and never came back. The consequences of that are evident throughout the book.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@OnDisasters I think nearly all of the designs featured could have been made to work. The fantasy element is how long they would've taken to develop.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@ReassessHistory It's currently with the page designers so I don't know exactly yet. I'm expecting ~450 pages.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

Rather apt quote about the process of developing bombers for the Luftwaffe, from my new book.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@wildbluejester Volume 1 was quite focused, with a build-up as the war progresses. Volume 2 is sort of the opposite - it starts out very focused before going round in circles, stalling, then collapsing.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@NornQueenKya @WhiteHouse On the list of 'things that this could be about,' liberating the people disappeared weeks ago. Now it's solely about oil. Maybe that's what it was always about.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@CalumDouglas1 AI developed for one specific task - such as matching character shapes to help date the Dead Sea scrolls - seems useful; but most mass market systems lack any real utility. Most appear to be novelties or existing functions given the 'AI' label.

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@SpitfireFilly Got mine through yesterday. Some very interesting stuff in there.

[Jane Gulliford Lowes @LydiaJane13]

Pretty happy with that!

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@germanbunkers @SpitfireFilly @SlitherineGames @BeaverWestminst @ClickToZoom @HoZ_Books I loved that game too. Thank you for your service!

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

@LydiaJane13 😅

[Dan Sharp @TheRealDanSharp]

Looks great!
