I heard about this book looking for decals for my Camel by Eduard, since I wanted to do a Kosciuszko Squadron bird.

The book is printed on glossy paper with photos in black and white and color.  There are color photos of a real Camel in the Polish Aviation Museum in Krakow, Poland.  The photos are very informative as the aircraft is uncovered, so you can see all the internal detail.  Included are seven pages of line drawings with multiple views.

This book is written in both English and Polish.  The book covers the origin of the design and technical data.  I'm not well-versed in WW I aircraft and history, but I found that this book covers both the history of the aircraft and its operational history in WW I.

In the book there are three pages of color profiles and also included (and a real good idea) are decals in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale!  Markings are given for four aircraft in both scales.  The cost of this book is quite reasonable considering you get decals too.  The decals are printed by Tecmod.  I can highly recommend this book.
