Technical comments and corrections were made by (in alphabetical order) Mark Acres, Rosemary Bergman Althoff, Fred Baxter, Mark Biniecki, Robert Dustrude (1st Lt. USAAF Ret), Tony Harrison, Peter Jedicke, E. W. Kelly
(LtCol USA Ret), Gerard Marzilli, Jr., Donald E. Niles, Sr., Andy Nunez, Rory Patterson, Dan Rinehart, Professor Jan Robin, Kevin Rose, and Mark Vetter. Any errors remaining, of course, are the sole responsibility and fault of the authors.
Friendship, support, and wise counsel came from many sources, notably (also in alphabetical order) Ralph Benko (who loaned his name for a Soviet tank general), Frank Chadwick (whose tireless friendship and scholarship makes him truly One To Foresee For One), Moshe Feder (who said many nice things without having to do so), Elle Furlong (who unraveled the mysteries of the Russian patronymic and taught us several Russian swear words), S. Keith Keel (designer of the Dobsonbooks Web site), Ted Leemann (for advice on marketing, character, and project management), Humayun Mirza (for insight into the Desert Fox and many other players of the period), and Charlotte Porter (for lending her name and a few inside jokes to our own favorite AP guy, Chuck “No Relation” Porter).
We thank our families, especially our wives, Christine Niles and Deborah Dobson, for their patience, love, and support throughout this project.
