Dan Sharp

@DiamantinoHlde1 The original planned release date was in 2021. But it took significantly longer to research and write than expected. So its a bit late... but we were unable to get Amazon to update the listing.

@TheRealDanSharp Strange, you say yts not finished, but it is already at sell! amazon.es/-/pt/gp/produc…

Just finished writing this, topping out at ~220,000w and ~450 images. It's essentially a comprehensive overview of German bomber development during WW2, including all the unbuilt projects, all the blind alleys, all the arguments, all the backstabbing and all the tech.

Buy this book, Dan follows the same research methodolgy I use and it is so simple it remains somehow bereft of prizes, 1) Read all the archive information 2) See what it says 3) Put it in the book This book will undoubtedly make many people who have ideas based on reading

@feelgood_doktor When you have access to company documents, Luftwaffe documents and RLM documents, you get a fully rounded picture of what was happening, which wasn't available to those who were actually there. The picture that emerges is somewhat different to the 'traditional' history.

@TheRealDanSharp OMG…maybe another hundred years in the future the people will still write something „new“ about the german technology at this time….can’t hear it anymore

@pehlke_rainer It's three times longer and with twice as many images. And the three-times-longer text is all new. And all the hundreds of primary sources used are fully cited.

@TheRealDanSharp What's the difference to "Secret Bombers of the Third Reich"?

@AlanGuerzoni That game inspired me to read German projects books in the early 1990s but they were pretty vague and contradictory. Years later, I thought it'd be fun to see if I could find the original German wartime documents and work out the truth for myself. Hence this, and my other, books.

@TheRealDanSharp There was a 90s videogame with similar name..😍

@AeroPaleo @wildbluejester The writing of it was pretty linear tbh. But the doctrine which many historians seem to think informed or even dictated bomber development actually went out the window almost as soon as WW2 began and never came back. The consequences of that are evident throughout the book.

@TheRealDanSharp @wildbluejester If ever there were a metaphor for writing a book…

@OnDisasters I think nearly all of the designs featured could have been made to work. The fantasy element is how long they would've taken to develop.

I had a book on the subject a few years ago. I recall that some of the designs were pure fantasy

@ReassessHistory It's currently with the page designers so I don't know exactly yet. I'm expecting ~450 pages.

@TheRealDanSharp Nice chonky tome. How many pages?

Rather apt quote about the process of developing bombers for the Luftwaffe, from my new book.

@wildbluejester Volume 1 was quite focused, with a build-up as the war progresses. Volume 2 is sort of the opposite - it starts out very focused before going round in circles, stalling, then collapsing.

@TheRealDanSharp I am just reading Volume 1 (Fighters) - *again* Cannot wait to get my hands on Volume 2! #AviationBookClub

@NornQueenKya @WhiteHouse On the list of 'things that this could be about,' liberating the people disappeared weeks ago. Now it's solely about oil. Maybe that's what it was always about.

@WhiteHouse So... to help liberate the people... we're going to make sure they go without power?

@CalumDouglas1 AI developed for one specific task - such as matching character shapes to help date the Dead Sea scrolls - seems useful; but most mass market systems lack any real utility. Most appear to be novelties or existing functions given the 'AI' label.

Yeah nah.

@SpitfireFilly Got mine through yesterday. Some very interesting stuff in there.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been tweeting me all your kind excitement now that #EagleDays has landed on your doormats! I am so thrilled that many of you are enjoying reading it so far - thank you for always being so uplifting & positive 🥰 happy #BankHoliday reading!

@germanbunkers @SpitfireFilly @SlitherineGames @BeaverWestminst @ClickToZoom @HoZ_Books I loved that game too. Thank you for your service!

@SpitfireFilly @SlitherineGames @BeaverWestminst @ClickToZoom @HoZ_Books I worked as a beta tester for Lucas Film Games many years ago here in California on their release called “Their Finest Hour”. Great fun and a ground breaking game for the time. It came with a beautiful historical manual.

Wonderful to chat with @SlitherineGames about their fab video game #Scramble: Battle of Britain & the accompanying documentary series (including myself, @BeaverWestminst & @ClickToZoom). It was also lovely to discuss #EagleDays & to see multiplayer mode come to life!✈️ @HoZ_Books

@LydiaJane13 😅

Looks great!

Evidently my HOTOL book is a popular gift, alongside the excellent Winkle by @BeaverWestminst !

RT @RAeSTimR: So this is cool.... #avgeek
