4.0 out of 5 stars
Infamous Aircraft
Useful as an introduction, but flawed by the choice of aircraft - a book with this title could easily have been double the thickness, but that's a matter for the author's personal choice. I would have liked to have seen the Bristol Brabazon, GeeBee racer and Barling Bomber included among others, but the aircraft which are included are given fairly good treatment though...

Infamous Aircaraft
The book is misnamed. There were very little about "Dangerous designs and their vices" and I was disappointed with it. I found some sections interesting but becasue of the title I was expecting so much more. The section on early Russian jets was the part I enjoyed the most. Just wish the author had talked about the vices of those aricraft.

Infamous Aircraft,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Infamous Aircraft: Dangerous Designs and Their Vices (Hardcover)
Useful as an introduction, but flawed by the choice of aircraft - a book with this title could easily have been double the thickness, but that's a matter for the author's personal choice. I would have liked to have seen the Bristol Brabazon, GeeBee racer and Barling Bomber included among others, but the aircraft which are included are given fairly good treatment though not always very detailed (but the R-101 chapter is outstanding).So, overall, good value but don't expect a definitive encyclopedia.
