Hey there Stig...

Of course, the latest Classic book would usually give the authors the chance to update info and amend mistakes. However, from a conversation with one of the authors of the Monogram work, he told me that they had very little to do with the work even though his name appeared on the cover and that his name was used without his permission! He also advised me that the Classic work was a "completely new book on the Do 335 that will destroy much of what has gone before" (his words not mine)

Great discussion anyway... and thanks to Wim for his excellent input too...
