Let Slip the Dogs of War

Editorial

by David Tschanz

CH35 has been completed just as our occasional editorial assistant (and my son) Karl M. Tschanz completes his Basic Training at Fort Sill. I will admit to editorial indiscretion in that I deliberately delayed the issue until I could write the above and enclose the picture on the previous page. I'm proud of him!

Steve Darley makes his first appearance in our pages with an analysis of the Battle of Ridgefield and the role of Benedict Arnold in it. Muslim pirates in France? That's what I asked when I first received new member Bob Lebling's article. But as you will discover for yourself it is a fascinating topic!

Newly minted Contributing Editor Janet Phillips returns to our pages with a review of an important book on Civil War medicine.

Bob Miller also returns with a review and examination of the P3 Orion - Chinese F8 midair collision this past spring.

A special reprint of Admiral George M. Dewey's account of the battle of Manila Bay rounds out the issue.

Now -- one more thing. I deliberately left out the date of the battle of Manila Bay. There's a one subscription extension to the member who first e-mails in the date (print copy people have a separate contest based on postmark).
