The author of that web page is Tony Banham. If you're interested in this topic you should visit his full website. It has new information added each month, plus descriptions of the books he has written.
Thanks!
Brilliant - thanks for the link!
Tony Banham
I have recently read both "Not the Slightest Chance" and "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" by Mr Banham, and can say that they are top class pieces of work, you can tell just by the quality and detail of the information inside that they have been thoroughly researched. I look forward to the next volume in the series.
