Plagarist or not, the story got told.
My father regards the HBO series "Band of Brothers" as the most authentic telling of operations from D-Day onwards, and he knows , because he was there.
The Wild Blue, may have passages plagarised, but it may well lead to another HBO series, as they are actively seeking another WW2 topic, to give the BoB treatment, and that would mean work for Mustangs and surviving B-24's , if "The Wild Blue" was used.(As well as work for CGI experts)
I've seen some of the latest developments for CGI, and all I can say is , it's extremely exciting, soon you won't be able to tell real vs Memorex -lol. Now who is it , that owns the screen rights for "Goodbye Mickey Mouse"?
So, while he may borrow chunks from other authors, people forget that he has been diagnosed with Cancer, and if I was in that position, frankly I wouldn't give a toss, because I was writing against the clock.
