I have an A&P license and bought this book for my son. It is a good example of quality sacrificed to feed someone's bottom line. Illustrations and figures in this book are of such poor quality that they appear to have been reduced on a copy machine, causing important details to disappear into blotches of ink. Reference tables have been reduced to the point where they are unreadable without a magnifying glass. There is no section on welding. If this is the only reference handbook on the market, then you're stuck with it -- but I sent mine back. Don't buy it.

This is an outstanding reference book that should be considered a must have for all aircraft mechanics. I have a couple...tons of outstanding reference diagrams, etc. Get a couple...one for the tool box and one to keep in the house

The book is a good basic treatise that capsulizes the three rather voluminous documents put out for the FAA administrered AMT work.

This book was very help full to me as i wanted to have a knowledge about every airplane in the world, it book fulfills most of it, reading along with photos is a fun, though i feel some of the airplanes are missing ( refer to http://www.aircraftcompare.com to know whats missing ) but still I love the book ..but updated version needed now

Great overview of all the areas involved with aircraft construction materials, techniques, and hardware. Short on some details but it wouldn't be small if it wasn't. The one manual you must have for kit airplane construction!

Gives a decent treatment of all the necessary topics and is a handy shop/small form factor reference guide. Not all encompassing by any means, but that's what the rest of your A&P library is for. Some of the charts and diagrams are small/dated, but 90% plus of the information is there (if you squint hard enough). If you can't read the charts, you can always use your google machine to look up and print out a large print edition to hang on the wall.

This book isn't about aircraft knowledge about electronics, air, oil and hydrolics. It's a book about mechanical knowledges. Although that's not the right book I actually want, it's quite a good book.

It is good, and easy to understand book for both the amatuer, and professional. With lots of illustrations. It will fit well in my aviation library.
