Reviews and Testimonials
This is another long overdue book on an aircraft people didn't even know existed. A very good read.
Dick Helling (via email)
The books arrived today. I'm real pleased, happy and nostalgic with your inking of them! I also note the size change from the original and like that, too. Fits better in a standard (if there is such a thing) bookcase. Should have ordered more cause already I can think of several other people I'd like to have a copy.
