About the third book down, NzTyphoon, is the one quoted.

What this does show is a second-hand report on tests conducted by NACA, proving that the authors have read the same reports as presented in this, and other threads. In fact, the way Crumpp has quoted extensively from from this one book shows that most of his information on aerodynamics comes from here which can also be found (minus some pages) on googlebooks.

Nor is it an unimpeachable source, as witness the comments on the longitudinal stability of the Typhoon and Tempest, both of which have Pilot's Notes stating they were longitudinally unstable.
