Plenty of very detailed information on every variant of the plane. Good side colour plates for many different marking schemes (although side view only, no top down views of markings)

History of development, use, and some of the characters involved was interesting. The writing of these sections was sometimes disjointed. Proof reading had not been done properly, with incomplete or merged sentences and spelling mistakes
