I would really like to review this book, however I still have not received the book, and your web site is not showing the order. All I have is the confirmation e-mail when I oredered it, and this e-mail asking me to reveiw the book.

My son was so excited to receive this book and it arrived very quickly. Thanks.

Polmar and Bell have done a masterful job of covering a century's worth of military aircraft. (Make that "unmanned military aircraft"--the V-1 buzz bomb and the Predator don't make the cut.) There's material here for at least 100 arguments, but the selections are always interesting and the logic is always impressive even if you aren't entirely convinced. (What, no Storch? No P-47 Thunderbolt?) In the meantime, you'll pick up information you didn't have before. (The first operational military helicopter was the Flettner Kolibi, designed to be carried on U-boats.) One for your library! -- Dan Ford
