5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Book! If you love flight, Hank will make you smile!, April 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Seabirds: An Unofficial Illustrated Encyclopedia of Naval Aviation (Paperback)

This too is aviation art! Hank Caruso reaches deep inside each machine to uncover the personality of THAT airplane. He then cartoons it as no one else can do, and brings it to life. Hank's descriptions of the culture and lingo of naval aviation are as funny as the drawings. If you like this book, you'll probably want to buy his annual cartoon calendars too. J. Campbell Martin
