Well, simply because this book is rather different: And while other books may faithfully cover the origins, the development, the designer’s philosophies, the different versions, the operational usage and the pilots who flew them, when it comes to performance the results are usually rather meager. For the most part, there is usually only a table somewhere in the book that details things like top speed, maximum climb rate, climb time and ceiling etc. However, while these numbers may certainly with a cursory glance appear interesting and useful, they actually say very little about how these aircraft truly compared when looking at the bigger picture. And while this may at first seem like an odd statement to make, it’s nonetheless true and why this is so will also be explained in the book. In addition, many books rely heavily on anecdotal evidence for performance comparisons.
