Since I don't really know what you mean with "poster pictures" are you saying that even the photos
are "useless", ie published before - bad quality - very uninteresting?
Also the so called colour photos, are they all from preserved specimens or contemporary?

It is a pictorial book no doubt!, the Poster pictures I mentioned (numerous) are of the time, advertising the aircraft eg. girls on a beach looking up at one flying by, and other aspects, like a poster advertising torpedo factories!!! Very childish….
The author even blames the COVID for being unable to seek more data from archives…..
As this forum doesn’t facilitate photos, I am unable to show anything from the book.
For an iconic aircraft flown by gallant crews against overwhelming odds, we are still awaiting a book to do it justice.
If we were having a meal I’d call it a starter!!!
