> the historcal advisors said something but nobody must have cared.
I know one of the advisors for the film and that was essentially correct. They had a story they wanted to tell and the production was busy, so there wasn't a lot of time to review after some of the larger issues got worked out. I remember a different interview than this one, but that's the best I can find with the time I have tonight.
[The World Encyclopedia of Fighters & Bombers: An Illustrated History of The World's Greatest Military Aircraft, From the Pioneering Days of Air ... and Stealth Bombers of the Present Day] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1844769178/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nqvUzbJVTHMVS)
[The Encyclopedia of Aircraft of WWII] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1904687830/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8qvUzbP0D7K03)
The 2nd encyclopedia is perfect for what you're looking for it covers each model of the plane not just the basics.
Good read. That pilot is a lucky man.
Anyone who is interested in reading an autobiography by an IL-2 pilot should read this.
No it is not poorly written (as I've read people in reviews say). That is simply context and nuance that is lost in translation (Russian to English).
No politics, self-praise, or lime-lighting in that book and I say that because the title would make someone assume differently. It's a gritty and straight to the point book. No bullshit about how awesome and wonderful he is coughgermanacescough.
He lost a lot of friends and it is a perspective that I have never read about before. He completed ~90 sorties, was shot down 3 times, and survived the war.
Some great excerpts about his ground attack missions. Incredible stuff and it really shows you how tough of a bird the IL-2 was.
Hmm is it this? Not quite what I'm looking for but I'll add it to the list!
Military History Visualised did a good couple of videos from one of this authors other books on "Why Airforces Fail?" here and here.
You'll love this book

During the lead-up to the invasion several hundred gliders were produced and stored on airfields, waiting for their one-way trip. In English weather this caused a lot of them to develop mould and collect water inside, which could have caused the gliders to break up in flight.
In The New Science of Strong Materials by JE Gordon, we are told about the problems this caused and how they were overcome. This is in the chapter Glue and Plywood which also discusses the problems of constructing planes such as the Horsa and the Mosquito out of plywood.
A fascinating book and an interesting look at some of the technicalities involved in constructing them.
This is where I got it if anyone is interested, It's huge.

I highly recommend Ted Lawson's 30 Seconds Over Toyko about the Doolittle Raid. It goes into the crew selection, training for the raid, the raid itself, and the aftermath of the crew and aircraft.
Worth the time and effort to find a copy.

A family friend of mine flew the Hump in WWII in C-46 Commandos. He was later stations in China and this photo is on the cover of his book which was released earlier this year.

The Blonde Knight of Germany, good book.
Recently read the book 'The Aviators' which is partial about him. Highly recommend it.
