Another fine Squadron Signal book,

This review is from: Fokker Eindecker in action - Aircraft No. 158 (Paperback)
This book covers the Fokker from the beginning until the end of its development. The book gives a nice little biography of Anthony Fokker, a son of a successful businessman, and a drop out of college. Anthony is bitten by the aviation bug at an early age and starts building a version (not a copy) of a French design that evolved into the Eindecker.Personally, I like the layout of this book. Squadron books are much too small for chapters. Also, there is no index. The book crams a lot of information, photographs, and has the usual color prints in the middle. Modelers will get good ideas on how to superdetail their aircraft. The best areas to concentrate are on the rotary engine, the landing gear, and the cockpit. This book has lots of picture of the Fokker's various sub assemblies. Last, the book give an important bit of historical fact. Yes, Fokker didn't himself design the gears that let the machineguns fire through the propellor. He headed the design committee. Now, this is like saying that Bill Gates did not personally design Windows. Fokker knew the specs of the product and what it took for it to successfully work. Just for that tid bit I would have given the book four stars. Enjoy.
