Bristol,
Be not concerned about pontificating and lecturing, which at any rate, I don't feel you were doing. I became interested in WW1 avaition some years ago, but was distracted until recently. I've only begun to study this topic recently, and have learned a great deal from Russ, Graeme, you and many others. Please feel free to point out the error of my ways. I air my opinions here to find out if they have merit.
I fully recognize the need to study the air war within the context of the ground war. I'm reading several books right now on Passchendaele, Cambrai and the Ypres area in general in the latter half of 1917. It seems to me that the British made a huge leap forward in both ground and air tactics during this period. I'm really interested in understanding those changes and the response of the Germans to them.
