'Whirlwind' by Victor Bingham, Airlife 1987, 157 pages. Page size 24cm x 18cm.

Yes to both. Graphs describing rates of climb and maximum speeds at different altitudes. Good drawings of the aircraft for modeling purposes.

Half of the book deals with the operational use of the Whirlwind. Chapters deal with specification and design, a technical description of the aircraft, testing and investigation.

Appendices for brief histories of individual aircraft; technical data; engine data; 20mm cannon data; squadrons, stations, commanding officers, code letters, etc; people involved with design and development; comparison between three twin-engined single-seat fighters (Whirlwind, Gloster F39/7, DH103).


It's a good read.
