Reviews

Modeling Madness, January 2006, reviewed by Scott Van Aken<br> It is a fascinating look into an interesting job during an equally interesting time in aviation: the transition from subsonic prop planes to supersonic turbojet powered aircraft. It is all here in a book that is one of the best I've ever read. <br>
