The sad thing is we have had a family joke for many years..... I write the Ploesti novel and a few months after it comes out, the phone rings and the Bride answers. A voice on the other end says, Please hold for Mr. Spielberg....."

Believe it or not, I am pulling out information this week. I have one set of magazine articles to do on the M3/M5 Stuart light tanks for a British magazine and then I am on this - a good year of research and blocking. I am leaning toward using the names if I can get some info from the archives - your "good buddy" Dave Klaus has been working on a book on Ploesti for many years but so far hasn't written it. I've talked with him and he has no problem with my writing a novel about the raid, so what the heck..... I am trying the archives again - they have been closed in person due to Covid, but the Covid emergency is now officially over, so.....
You can google and get material from the archives now. PDFs of Masters' Theses at the Air War University at Maxwell AFB, etc., etc. No need to go paw though mislabeled boxes to write notes from documents you can't copy.
