OTOH I prefer the two to be seperate to begin with (detailed technical or design vs operational histories). The two can be combined, but seldom present both sides on the same level.

Thanks for the advice. Although the Manrho Bodenplatte book has few technical details of the Fw 190D-9, it has many good photos of the warplane, both intact and in various degrees of damage and wreckage. Interestingly, on first read, Bodenplatte doesn't seem have much operational narrative of the Dora. Green Hearts First in Combat with the Dora 9 by Axel Urbanke has many more operational details of the Fw 190D-9 in combat than Bodenplatte.
