Work's a bit busy at the moment, but I drop in when i can 
I've been looking around for the performance curves, but I can't find the two books that I know have them.
One is Spitfire by John Vader, that book is superb, but you might have a little difficulty finding it Brutus, I haven't seen it in shops at all. I doubt it would be all that expensive if you did find it though, given the specialist subject.
The other book which I have around somewhere is Spitfire: The History by Eric Morgan. I seem to have misplaced them when i last moved. I would very highly recommend both of them.
Most of the other books i have on Spits are just text and pictures,- graphs are generally a little dry for general reading so they dont put them in......
If you're really keen, have a look at some of the drawings on this site for technical details...
