4.0 out of 5 stars
Required reference for the history of Curtiss Aircraft in the development of Airpower,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Curtiss Aircraft, 1907-1947 (Hardcover)
The only thing preventing a fifth star for this volume is the small format of this second edition print. I have not seen in person the previous printing, so I can not comment on any advantage it may offer. The small size prevents the full impact of the photography and drawings contained in the manuscript. This is an important work for anyone interested in having a solid reference of design development by the Curtiss companies through the Second World War. To have a comprehensive set of information would require the addition of Dean and Hagedorn's Curtiss Fighter Aircraft: A Pictorial History 1917-1948 ISBN-13: 978-0764325809. That being said, this is an important work and highly desireable in any aviation history library, especially if your focus is on pre-second world war aircaft development.
