How similar are these 2 books?

Heeelloooo!

Few months ago, I got my copy of Mike Spicks 'Luftwaffe Fighter Aces' which pretty much told about the tactics, planes and the reasons for their success & failure in WWII.

Last night, I saw a new book (2 years old, just now translated to Finnish) from Mike Spick called 'Aces of the Reich: The Making of a Luftwaffe Fighter-pilot' which also should be about the reasons for the downfall of LW.

It got me wondering, how similar are these two books? Luftwaffe Fighter Aces gave pretty good look behind the reasons for success & failure of LW, so is the 'new' book worth it if I already have the LFA? :hmm:

I don't know, I might suspect it as being a reprint with a new title. Has happened before.
