Ed, I wonder that are aircraft and ship enthusiasts so different. On average, ship monographs are far more technical than aircraft monographs and the discussion on ship enthusiasts' boards often gets much more technical. A good example is the massive Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War which provides such technical details that not a single English book on Japanese aircraft even remotely achieves. And the same seems to apply to spaceflight enthusiasts. E.g. Dennis Jenkins's books on the American space shuttle again go so much deeper into the engineering details.

I wonder why aircraft enthusiasts are often so content with so superficial books.
