The ones on the various campaigns are pretty good.

 Well, someone has to be "the skunk at the wedding"

Important to remember that "The Green Books,"
while excellent material, are not infallible or 
always 100% correct.
Many years ago, we had some long threads
on "The Green Books" and several of us defined a few
questionable quotes and references.  I don't remember
what they were now, but I remember we had them.
Also- the writers gave Radio less attention in details
than they did Radar.  That's understandable, since
Radio was a familiar concept and technology by 1940
and some of the "shine had gone off the apple,"
while Radar was the "new, shiney thingie."  
And rightly so.  Radar was indeed one of  those
WWII "Hinge of Fate" things on which the outcome
of the war turned.

I'm not saying the books are "bad."  Not at all.
They are quite excellent.  But if you feel some 
point should be questioned, you should feel
justified in bringing it to discussion.
