I was very interested to see in the review the passage "...there's scarcely a mention of air support until the night of 4-5 September... The Luftwaffe sent a few raiders over the Canadians and caused disruption far in excess of their numbers and the actual physical destruction."

These raiders were from the Ju 87 night attack unit NSG 9, the subject of my own book "Ghost Bombers" (Classic Publications, 2001). Very rarely during the research did I come across an Allied assessment of the damage that they did, so it was really intriguing to see this. Disruption was exactly what the night attack units were intended to achieve.

We welcome and encourage your thoughtful feedback about this book. Unfortunately, due to a few hooligans, all feedback must be manually reviewed and approved before it is displayed. We'll take care of that as soon as possible. Please be patient. Thanks.
