"The Aircraft..." grew out of a series of articles in a modelling magazine, I think. "C & D" (which came first) is an operational history of the RAF's bomber support campaign (including a chapter about American efforts) and with appendices on Allied and German radars/RCM devices, the Squadrons and airfields of 100 Group, and the Luftwaffe night fighter force. What it doesn't have is any personal accounts of bomber support ops.
The edition I have has a terrible standard of proof-reading by the way.
