This review is from: O-1 Bird Dog in action - Aircraft No. 87 (Paperback)

"O-1 Bird Dog in Action-Aircraft no 87"

I have beeen building a 1/4 scale radio controlled model of one of my favorite airplanes since May of 2009. It is all electric and probably put me almost over my head.

Trying to find information and graphics for this project was almost impossible. I Googled it, amazoned it, Microsofted it, and any other search engine I could find, with no luck.

One day while browsing Amazon Books, I came across exactly what I wanted, even though it never came up in Amazon's search engine.

The book(paperback) is a wealth of information and graphics. Anyone who is going to build the Bird Dog will truly enjoy this book
