I purchased it. Took a while to get to the US, but an excellent and worthwhile source. Hope they do more.

Re: at last, book about fighter comparison

I appreciated its use of energy and maneuverability/performance comparitive graphics. The Osprey "duel" books lack these. The authors are engineers and know how the things fly. So I consider it worth buying.
