Most Overrated aircraft of WWII.....?

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

The "reviews" of the 3 books on Amazon are all by the same 'customer/reviewer' and are almost word for word. the page numbers, photos and weight of the books do change and perhaps a few other things but there was a lot of cut and paste between the reviews.

Based on his forum name and his publisher (First Mountain Belgians) it sounds like this tool self published (paid for the production of his book) and got a buddy to leave a review.

Definitely self-published. That's clear from the amazon entry.

Always worthy of a topical reference...

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.

This post is hard to swallow. The eagle-eyed will notice puns slanted into some words ... but don't worry, I won't be crowing over finding these niggles. It's a cardinal tenet of mine to be gracious where at all possible.

Regarding Herr Gansz, poope de poule comes to mind.

I'm still laughing over "Big Bad B-17G Researcher".

 

[Snautzer01]

Or some dodo is using his name to dis credit this author. Happened before.

It's a shame no one [eta: myself included] thought to start a B-17 thread while he was still around to see if the Thread That Shall Not Be Named could be rivalled in page-count.

What if the B-17E had the tail-fillet installed to cure CoG instead of yaw? I think I have a conspiracy-theory here!
