I don´t you understood what I meant. If a book is titled "Bf 109 operations over the Channel Front", I don´t expect it to delve deep into technical details. However, if the book is titled "The Swordfish Story", I do expect heavily technical book.

As for the camo and markings comment, remember what you wrote previously: "...the average pilot didn´t give a toss about the technical detail of his aircraft...". Now, how many pilot accounts have you read that show pilots being extremely keen to make sure that the swastika was 625 mm wide instead of 620 mm or that the checkerboard tail was black on white background instead of vice versa? Yet, on the latter subject there are zillions of books. On the other hand, I have not seen a single Bf 109 book showing e.g. rate of roll vs. airspeed curve and the pilots were definitely more interested in rate of roll than in color schemes.

And are you sure naval books are written for different audience? Perhaps it is a question of supply failing to meet the demand? Most ship freaks I know of are also interested in aircraft, tanks and military history in general.
