The profiles in this book are poorly done, much of the artwork is inaccurate, and the author makes numerous errors in the text. Many of the artwork errors are obvious through comparison to contemporary photographs, including some examples presented in this very book. The shape of the C-47s in the profiles is all wrong (look at the noses, cowlings, and tailfin for starters). The author's textual errors range from misunderstanding the command structure that he is describing, to basic errors regarding the aircraft that is the subject of this volume (the Douglas C-47/R4D/Dakota), to outright misinformation regarding unit markings. It's a very disappointing book.
