The thief prepared ten spiral bound books of combat reports for aces, under the imprint of MvR Publications; Bader and Finnucane from WW2, von Richthofen (his first book), McCall, Leacroft, Fullard, Collishaw, Claxton, Ball and Bishop. They are very hard to find today; I am sure he would not dare to publish additional copies. I would not be surprised if there were a maximum of 100 copies of each printed, and would not find anything from only 10 to 25 surprising. He also self-published a biography of the World War 2 ace Dickie Cork under the name Wren. He was convicted of theft, and much of the material was recovered, but not all. His name is known; I prefer that he be nameless. He has committed a crime against civilization, which I consider to be a capital offense.
