Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am a German reader and read ‘Azincourt’ latest. You have mentioned the quarrel whether longbows can hit high quality mail. John M. Coles: Experimental archaeology. Acad. Press, London 1979 offers a chapter on that with tests done over 100 years ago that showed impressively that longbow arrows can hit mail even at greater distance. I have enjoyed your book very much and am looking forward to read ‘Burning Land’. Best regards Peter Ansorge
