I've seen "dozens" of mistakes, not just little oversights over the years in Osprey books. I'm not at home to go through the few that I have but I do know there's been mistakes in aircraft performance descriptions when compared to POH's, mistakes in photo captions, and misquotes and errors in factual events.And of course, tell why.
IMHO Osprey quality fluctate wildy, much depends on writer,
mistakes in photo captions,
I'm afraid this happens in the best books too. I know of one case (directly from the author concerned) where an erroneous caption,despite having been noticed and highlighted,pre-production,still ended up in the book. I won't name names but this was a reputable publisher in the field of military history.

I gave up reading Bergerud's "Fire in the Sky". It had lots of promise but I found his descriptions of aeronautical terms and tactics to be plain annoying. Probably just me as I know others who think it's great...but I don't.
