Dornier Do 335 Pfeil Arrow: The Luftwaffe's Fastest Piston-Engined Fighter
Has anyone read this book by Classic Publications?
Just wondering if it follows their usual standards. |

Must not be a popular book here.

It is quite good, very typical of the series. Personally I prefer Karl-Heinz Regnat's volume, (Aviatic in German, Schiffer in English).

Why do you prefer the other book over this one?

Regnat's book is much, much more technical and "engineeringlike", as aircraft monographs should be. E.g. it is mentioned in Classic's book that the Do 335 suffered from weak nose landing gear, but leaves it at that without analyzing why it was weak, what were the modes of failure and how it might have been corrected. I don't recall whether Regnat discusses this, but nevertheless such issues go unanswered in too many aircraft books.
