Reporting an Error

Viewer Comments | By History Detectives Team | September 18, 2008

James Downard alerted us to errors in BluePrint Special:

This may already have been spotted by others, but if not: the military archivist who showed the original blueprint edition got a few details wrong regarding the composers' subsequent works. Loesser did not write Richard Adler & David Ross' "Damn Yankees", nor did the brilliant Alex North pen Malcolm Arnold's music for "Bridge on the River Kwai".

No two ways about it, we made editing errors and you caught them.  We are dedicated to keeping our investigations accurate and error-free, but due to an oversight these slipped by.  We sincerely regret the errors and very much appreciate your diligence in bringing them to our immediate attention.
