Not just a picture book

This is a great book. Not just your average coffee table picture book, this book selects 37 of the most popular vintage aircraft and gives a complete write up and history of each individual aircraft. Unlike other books of its type that select only the authors favorite models. Before I realized it I had read this book from cover to cover. One of the nicest aspects of this book is that not only does it have great narratives for each aircraft but it also has well over 100 pictures of some of the most beautifully restored aircraft in the country. Making this book also a great coffee table picture book for those without time to read but who just want to look at the pictures. For any vintage aircraft owner or for anyone who simply just loves the old classics like the Waco's, and Stearman, to the Fabulous Spartan Executive and the Beech 17 Staggerwing this is a must have book for your library or coffee table.
