Reader Reviews:
A good resource (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book is a gold mine of information for the person interested in these two WW2 warplanes.
On the one hand, there is are a number of excerpts from the pilot's actual reports about the nature of combat as well as an history of the development and deployment of these aircraft. On the other hand the book offers a wealth of black and white photographs and colour plates of the various colour schemes to aid modellers and artists alike.
96 Pages aren't enough (1/1 people found this helpful)
Another fine work by Osprey but as ususally 96 pages aren't enough to explain all, and some info is dated by more recent discoveries.
Also osprey fails to put authors not fully dedicate to the subject in writing such books, althought they do a very good job, the series could gain more if written by a somewhat more expert in the subject and by some more 200 pages, a nice book if you buy the entire collection, as they complement each others.
Typhoon/Tempest Aces of World War 2 (1/3 people found this helpful)
An excellent article of Allied pilots who flew the various variants of the Typhoon/Tempests fighter bombers. This book is dedicated to pilots who were able to attain status of Ace while flying Typhoons and Tempests.
