rootango,
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do!
One book in my library that I did not mention in the article is "Fire In The Sky" by Mark Bergerud.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0...7787715-2879023 This book is probably the definitive study of the air war in the Pacific theater of WW II, and the book is a very, very, very long read. It's pretty dry and hard to read in parts, and as such I don't consider it a through-and-through read for folks unless they are using it as a reference for a Masters in History.
But the book is broken up into major sections covering in great detail such things as the geography and climate of the theater (and how these were more of a threat to Allied and Japanese forces than they were to each other), the opposing sides' approach to construction techniques of air fields and facilities, the opposing sides' industrial capacity and approach to aircraft design, etc.
A major portion of the book contains a great section on the technology of the day, including some great descriptions of the aircraft types and their relative strengths and weaknesses.
Also, in some listed books like "Hellcat" by Tillman, there are appendix with reprints of miltary technology exploitation programs, such as discussions on the technical results of mock combat tests between a captured A6M and the early production Hellcat. So, you can get some of the info you are seeking from the books on my list as well.
For really techno info, you might want to visit AvHistory.org, which uses actual NACA (NASA's original name) data on WW II aircraft to enhance the flight models of CFS 2 and 3.
Thanks for the kind words on the article. I hope some of the books enhance your enjoyment of our hobby in conjunction with PF.
