Quite likely Neil
However to compare, Air International (July/Aug 1984) did a 16 page summary of the type.
Does this one give anything new?

You say the book has 80 pages 'operational service', which is not much if you compare to the
two Osprey books by Marco Mattioli which has some 180 pages dito

Having said that, a page count says the book has 278 pages. With Jukka stating 42 pages technical data,
we now have 122 pages, what are the other 156 pages consisting of? AMC? Jukka??

I don't believe in a word count as such. Words can be an endless bla, bla, bla, while a far better
author, using far fewer words, can bring out much more useful data.
