I bought this book for a friend who’s an aviation fan. It’s beautifully laid out in glossy color and completely full of fascinating information in a well constructed time line. I got this on sale at an unbelievable price. It’s worth the full market value.

Nicely illustrated and well written history book.Heavyweight book did not have enough cushion in packaging leaving the 3 corners pretty banged up and dented and ugly. Way to ruin a really nice looking book.

liked the details and pictures, good quality printing

Cuidado con el empaquetado

A.M. · February 5, 2025

Se trata de un libro con pasta dura y relativamente pesado. El empaquetado en el que lo han depositado en el Bolo locker era el simple sobre cerrado de cartón ligero. Ha sido una suerte que el libro haya llegado sin ninguna esquina dañada. El libro es muy entretenido.
