"THE GREAT GAZOO"
You can donate some of the pages to some members who have pet birds/ parrots so they have something to put at the bottom of the cage!
Those books have 1,600 illustrations, it says.

I am happily ignorant and know it, that's how I avoid this kind of stuff. It's pretty rare that I show my backside on a forum like this. I know what I don't know, and avoid commenting when it doesn't make sense. I KNOW I don't know much, that's what makes this place wonderful to me, I learn an awful lot by keeping my fingers still, and reading what those who DO know have to say.
OTOH, I grew up on a farm and know the smell of BS pretty well, I can at least recognize fecal aromas and avoid stepping in the middle of it.

William Wolf's B-26 Marauder - The Ultimate Look, 636 pages, hardbound, one of the bigger books on my shelf, weighs 7.5 lbs. So it's doable.

Far too often there is a disconnect between whatsome one writes and how that person plays on the internet. Here, the writer acted foolishly and earned his banishment. But his B-17 books appear to be quality productions, even if they are self-published. Nick and Paul are highly respected researchers and writers - I'd be shocked if they fully endorsed Gansz's books unless they meant it. Too bad Gansz found it necessary to deprive us all of any of his more worthy contributions.

Just went to Amazon and read the first review..."I watched the research for this book evolve on the Aerovintage.com web message board as author David Gansz contributed some fantastic information to the conversation there........" I goes over to the above web-site and type David M. Gansz into the search box....no hit

When it comes to uncovering information aeronautical, you guys can't be snowed.
I'll bet 10 quatloos The Forum 'figgers out what plane that wreckage is from on the "found in Russia" thread.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

I was just thinking about this, is there any proof that this guy is the author of the books, anyone who has read just the wiki page on the B-17 site would know what he posted was wrong.

Dana - I agree your point about Nick and Paul but there are interesting outcomes when one searches on David M. Ganz as author on Amazon, there is only one reference to "David Ganz" as a Gaelic translator.
The other 'nagger' is the question re: Boeing copyrights. I can testify to Lengthy and $$ discussions with Boeing (with a friend in Boeing Archives) to get permission AND pay for license for 100 images that were in our collection dating to and originating from North American. Army PRO pics overseas would not be a problem - but factory images would be a huge issue if unpaid for.
Last - no David M. Ganz on Facebook - just wondering?

"THE GREAT GAZOO"
Something is really fishy here - Reading his bio, some of his work and where he's been, most of his stuff centers around the Soviet military
Glantz (author of soviet history books) or Gansz (the author of books on B-17).
This is exactly what I thought as well, Dana. His behaviour is a terrible PR exercise for him and his research, however credible. If he is to be taken seriously he needs to sharpen his image up. He can't spit in the faces of his audience and not expect backlash.

Ahhh, yes
I have taken a gander at the gaggle of posts and I think Mr Gansz's goose is cooked, he has fallen fowl of the moderators, I canard'ly think what happens next, hopefully not a cygnet of things to come, we dont want anyone getting a cob on. I will swan off now any more goose, duck, bird references are welcome.
