Hi Kees,

Now this is odd!
Does the EDITORS NOTE in your copy read differently to mine??? I would imagine not!

"THE EDITING AND PREPARATION OF THIS BOOK FOR PUBLICATION WERE PERFORMED AFTER THE AUTHORS UNTIMELY DEATH. NOT ONLY WERE HIS PERSONAL AND AUTHENTIC ADVICE AND GUIDANCE ON THE TEXT ITSELF LACKING; THERE WAS NO CLUE TO THE SOURCES OF MOST OF THE MATERIAL ON WHICH HE DREW IN COMPILING THIS HISTORY.

"no clue to the sources" and as no sources appear anywhere in the text this, surely constitutes 'no sources' And a history book that has no sources to be checked against is a flawed work of historical importance.

I have never said A.R. Weyl was a flawed historian-----just thar FOKKER- THE CREATIVE YEARS is a flawed history book. We should perhaps agree to disagree

Dave.
