It sounds like your 15-year-old self had a lot of fun. : D Good for you!
And I know what you mean about how much you can learn from fic research, or indeed from anything where you learn for fun rather than from formal schooling (says the amateur bryologist).
Do you have any especial recs for books relevant to the '45 that I might miss?
Sadly I don't think The Flight of the Heron is available in electronic form. But next year it goes out of copyright, so I'm sure it will eventually end up on Gutenberg. Meanwhile, I have bought myself a (cheap, actually) first edition so that I can record the book for Librivox the minute the copyright goes out (I'm a podficcer). So if you like audiobooks you could listen to it then. : )
