This entire post is plagiarized, word for word, without attribution or
a cite, from a piece written by Dr. Serge Durflinger and Bill
McAndrew, and then actually signed by Rob as if he wrote it. The
original text is available here:

Unfortunately, those that have seen Mr Arendt's posts on
rec.aviation.military and who are familiar with his website, will know
this is not an exception. I am sad to see this on soc.history.war.word-
war-ii though.
