Customer Reviews

A good read...

This is a very readable review of performance and handling charateristic of an incredable range of aircraft ranging from antiques to the space shuttle. The author puts the reader in the left seat of some very unique aircraft. I think most aviation enthusiasts will enjoy this book and envy the author's aeronautical adventures.

Great aviation writer shares with you

Barry Schiff is a fine writer who has been a professional aviator for more than 50 years. Schiff is a legend among pilots whose prose will also appeal to non-aviators. He has flown everything from airplanes made in WWI, to Boeing 747s. He conveys his experiences flying a diverse and fascinating selection of airplanes from the 1930's to the present in a manner that is compact and at the same time highly informative and enteraining. I highly recommend this book for anyone with even a small interest in, or curiosity about, airplanes; pilots will love it.

Dream Aircraft by Barry Schiff

I purchased this for my husbands birthday. He is so enthralled with the book and keeps telling me how much he likes it. He has recently started taking flying lessons and loves learning about different aircraft.
