is still alive, he would be 89 now. My copy was printed in 1982, so he
would have been 71 then, so don't hold your breath waiting for a new
edition!!! I think there may be minor errors, particularly in the
designation of captions and photographs, but it appears that his
research and access to official documents, would lead to a reasonably
factual presentation of the History for most purposes. There is a
great debate going on here at the moment, with one member who maintains
that he has a genuine 1918 Essex, which may or may not be, but his
endeavours to prove this are extremely difficult, as one cannot go on
things like hearsay, probabilities, likelihoods etc. John Conde at
one stage had lots of facts and figures. Is he still around? Perhaps
the H.E.T. Historical Soc. may be eventually able to collect all the
official documents extant together so that there is a difinitive source
of information. Otherwise we are destined to suffer peoples opinions
as to what may have occurred.
