People like Norman Friedman, John Campbell, all the folks at Conway's Maritime Press and the Naval Institute Press plus a handful of website owners keep the information available. There are great writers out there with access to the primary sources. I only have access to their work. I also hang out with friends who have similar expertise in other fields, including aviation and general military history.

It's a curse.
