Reviews

This is a very detailed and very different book full of interesting images, the list of which far exceeds the space limited to this review. The diagrams showing the consequences of striking a barrage balloon cable, and those on how to use the cable cutters which were standard equipment on most medium and heavy bombers, sits alongside complete cutaway diagrams of the Centaurus and Griffon aero engines, and the characteristics of exhaust flames, the colour of which indicated how to adjust an engine's fuel mixture.--John Grehan The History Herald (5/21/2013 12:00:00 AM) This is an amazing collection reproduced to the highest standards and I would recommend this for anyone with an interest in Aviation, Modellers, Budding Illustrators, Artists and aviation enthusiasts. Modellers in particular will find it very useful for all the detail drawings contained within. It is a magnificent collection and one I shall treasure... Highly Recommended.-- Hyper Scale Magazine (4/14/2010 12:00:00 AM)
