J R D Braham's "Scramble" and "Night Fighter" - differences or the same?

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Good night to all members.

Please do let me ask some of you that are "old hands" if there are differences between the book SCRAMBLE! published in 1985 and NIGHT FIGHTER, published in 1984.

I had read the first (SCRAMBLE) some 5-10 years ago and recently acquired the second (NIGHT FIGHTER). The stories and general shape of both books looks like the same...his shooting down in June 1944, his meeting with Spreckels, etc...his flying hours when he came to his first unit (29 Sqn), etc.

Maybe some of you can point me any significant differences...and why he published another book, later which seems the same "re-shaped"?

I thought I would find something different but was rather disappointed to find the same "déja vu".
