Sources for Aircraft Data

Anyone have recommendations for a good source of detailed information on WWII aircraft? Either electronic or print media.

I guess that's a rather broad question, so let me explain.

Some of you may have read my post about the apparently defunct database, and I wanted to move my continued questions to a more suitable forum. I thinks that this would be the place.

I am working on a mathematical model of aircraft performance characteristics, as an aid for examining the perennial "what if" questions. By gleaning through various web resources, I have collected data on the basic parameters for about 150 WWII era aircraft. Some information is proving hard to find. For instance, I find scant information on combat radius, or fuel load.

I was drawn to this site by some discussions of specific aircraft, and have made good use of that information, but I need more data.

Thanks for all the useful data you have already provided, and I hope for some more.

Here are two of the best online sources I know of.

Kurfurst - Your resource on Messerschmitt Bf 109 performance

Also check the technical section of this forum.

You also might want to talk to HoHun, who has been making some performance calculations and charts/tables on this. (similar to what you seem to be aiming at)

Thanks guys, I'll soldier on.
