"In all, it makes for not only a fine read, but also one that
brings to this editor quite a bit of nostalgia as I see on these
pages actual aircraft on which I've worked or been associated. It
is a book that I can easily recommend to you." -Modeling Madness,
reviewed by Scott Van Aken, February 2010-- (02/01/2010)
"Overall, this is a great reference of a lesser known aviation
subject, and should hopefully inspire some to try an AMARG model."
