Default Windsock datafiles content

Being somewhat caught up with studies and away from home, I thought I'd compensate for my lack of building activity with some future projects research
Specifically, I've been meaning to pick up a few of the much recommended windsock datafiles on various WW1 A/C.
I'm not quite sure what to expect though, so before placing an order it would be great to get some insight into the format of information featured.
I understand they're acclaimed as an invaluable reference to modellers of all scales, particularly suitable to 1:48 and 1:72 it would seem.
The emphasis with a lot of the datafiles seems to be on a very comprehensive compilation of historical background, original or replica photos, color schemes and profiles.

As I intend to scratch build (draw plans) it would be good to know to what degree of detail and accuracy the featured 3-view drawings can be used for a say, 1/5 scale project.

Also, are detailed illustrations of wing profiles, incidences, rigging details, fuse-sections ect. featured?

I'd appreciate any comments!
