Shout-out to @spitfirefilly.bsky.social whose excellent book portrays the build-up and 1940 mauling of the Luftwaffe, as well as an appraisal of the postwar legends that were created.

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

Well, it's finally here in Colorado! I'm cleaning my reading glasses, and looking forward to spending a long time with Eagle Days, by Dr. Victoria Taylor. I suppose the timing is apt, since 85 years ago the Battle of Britain was in its early stages. This is gonna be good! @spitfirefilly.bsky.social

Neue Wanderschuhe einlaufen. Insgesamt 18 km mit allerlei Getier auf dem Weg und "Eagle Days" von @spitfirefilly.bsky.social auf den Ohren.

Thank you for writing an excellent book Dr Taylor, I hope to one day add more of your books to my libary 🥰

That's so wonderful, Jonny - thank you! Always pleased to get a Battle of Britain aficionado's approval 🥰♥️

My dad with a copy of Eagle Days by Dr. Victoria Taylor.

@spitfirefilly.bsky.social my 85 year old dad has been reading about the Battle of Britain for about as long as he’s been around; he thoroughly enjoyed your book - loved the different perspective.

Amazing, thank you Christian! So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for reading 🥰

A picture of a book on a table: Eagle Days by Victoria Taylor: the cover shows a downed german single engine figther plane on what appears to be an english beach with step cliffs behind and a single engine figther plane in the sky above, presumeably a RAF figther plane. Picture brazenly borrowed from Chris Sam.

I have just finished my first audiobook on the Battle of Britain, and to honest, one of my first history books that look at the humans in the fight.
Allow me without further ado to recomend Eagle Days by Dr. Victoria Taylor aka @spitfirefilly.bsky.social

holy shit I arrive at Oshkosh that day! Ha, we get to meet in person!!

Sorry Jon, just saw this! Will also be there tomorrow speaking at 1pm if you're free 🥰♥️

If you are one of my followers and anywhere near one of these events I highly recommend getting to it. Dr Taylor is a fantastic expert and has some really interesting research.

Any aviation interested people in the U.S., check this out. The book is brilliant, if you haven't read it or listened to the audiobook.

#EagleDays will be officially released in the US and Canada a week today! What better way to mark this than to fly out to 🇺🇸 for some book events? If you're around the Midwestern United States this week, come say hi at one of the following events...🥰♥️

Chris, I now hold you solely responsable for my first audiobook on the Battle of Britain, and my first book by the good Dr. Taylor aka @spitfirefilly.bsky.social

Castle Lager advertisement December 1941sayinf ‘we salute the rookie who thought a wing strut was an airforce dance’ - showing two couples dancing. Facebook.

Okay this amused me.

It was an honour to deliver Royal Aeronautical Society Bedford's 60th Anniversary Lecture. Most grateful to the Society for hosting the event and to HM Lord-Lieutenant of Bedfordshire for an inspiring talk on local aerospace investment. Thank you also for the kind flowers and engraved aerofoil!

A tough act to follow! @lydiajane13.bsky.social ♥️

Thank YOU 🙂. Now starting @spitfirefilly.bsky.social ‘s Eagle Days, can’t wait!

Thank YOU for such a fascinating book about stuff I'm really interested in - I look forward to finding out what you will be writing about next... Hopefully I will be able to make it to one of the events you will be speaking at some point so I can get my copy of Eagle Days signed. 🙂

I've been seeing some of the praise the book's been getting, and I'm so excited for my copy to arrive (later this month, if I recall the pub date correctly)!
