T-33A & CT-133 : Recommendations for a good technical and/or operational history, please! (1 Viewer)

May I ask for recommendations concerning good sources about technical and operational history of Lockheed T-33A and Canadair CT-133?
Thank You!

You won't find much. There is a Schiffer book but it's a bit thin and understandably so, given the lengthy lifespan and widespread use of the type. But AFAIK it's the best out there. The Squadron/Signal booklet is part of that series and even more condensed as a result.

I do however have a feeling that I've seen a French language book on the T-33 in A de l'A service and a similar one was done for Luftwaffe IIRC by F40.

Thank You, Sabrejet!
The Land & Wache (1986) book, as much as I know from a superficial look, contains a list of Luftwaffe aircraft (+) but hardly any technical details (-).

There is a recent book which got praise from modeller's side but I am not confident about technical information contained. Can anybody share first hand impression?
