Customer Reviews

Love this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The photos of the old airplanes, and the history of early flight is fascinating. Would recommend this highly.

Good overview of long-forgotten airport...

Grand Central Air Terminal (CA) (Images of Aviation) The book covers all aspects of the history of this now closed airport, filling a gap in my knowledge of the history of aviation in the L.A. area. It contains many photos of unusual aircraft, both military and civilian. I found it a bit light on the "airline" side of things. I found it worthwhile and would appreciate more of this type covering more Socal aviation history. (Santa Ana/Orange County, anyone?)
