Good for Eye candy
The book was very short on information. It delves into the origins for the design but falls short of giving proper context to the photographs. With many photos of the crash of aircraft 2, it should also have included a few pages of history on the test program.

The book fails if it intends to tell the story merely with pictures and curt captions. There are, however, some really impressive photographs and they, alone, are worth the cost. This is one fantastically beautiful aircraft. No wonder the Russians were worried.

This review is from: North American XB-70 Valkyrie: A Photo Chronicle (Schiffer Military Aviation History) (Paperback)
Not long enough. While the pictures are in chronological order, some are not especially clear and there isn't really enough description and/or narrative.
Nonetheless, it is a good addition to the military historian on one of the more fascinating aircraft constructed. |
