You can find some info in some of the books from Poland or the Czech Republic on the Tempest. There is one remaining Typhoon on static indoor display at one of the museums in the UK, but it may be made up partly by making use of some Tempest parts, here and there, from what I hear.
Saw a book called Terror from the Skies:
In the summer of 1944, the Germans launched more than 10,000 flying bombs at Britain – most of them towards London. Thousands of people were killed and many more were injured. RAF fighter pilots flew round-the-clock patrols, desperately trying to shoot the robot rockets down and stop them reaching their targets. Graham Thomas, an Information Officer with the British Army, draws on first-hand accounts to bring this terrifying time to life.
From the launching pads in Northern France to panic in Whitehall as the menace grew, Terror from the Sky follows the day-by-day battle. It takes the reader into the cockpits of the Tempests, Mosquitoes, Spitfires and Mustangs, and relates the experiences of both the pilots and the Anti-Aircraft gunners. The book also includes recollections from those on the ground who survived the bomb attacks. In a thought-provoking conclusion, Graham Thomas assesses the cost and the success of the RAF campaign against the dreaded flying bombs.

Publisher: Pen And Sword Books

You can also look for books from the Warpaint series (I think #55) or maybe Warbird Tech. Squadron Signal in Carrolton, Texas USA has some paperbacks on these planes among their Walkaround or In Action series.
You can also view my rendering of an early Tempest on my web page, along with other planes, plus a derivative, a Korean-era Sea Fury near the bottom of the page. Takes a while to load, if you're on dial-up, though.
