This review is from: Wings of the CIA (Special Operations) (Paperback)

This is a great book. It is the most comprehensive gathering of information on the flying assets of the cia that I
have ever seen or read. It covers all the generations so far. A very enjoyable read. The translation is perfect.
The history is very well researched.

3.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and a fun read., August 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wings of the CIA (Special Operations) (Paperback)

On a technical note, the author needs a spell check and to have syntax checked in this book. It may have been translated incorrectly.

The history of the planes and missions was interesting to read. The history is not as in depth as in other books of this genre, but the author seems genuinely interested in this topic.

This review is from: Wings of the CIA (Special Operations) (Paperback)

"Wings of the CIA" has good untold stories and rare photos, but Frederic Lert needs to work on his English literature mechanics. It comes across as lack of Aviation knowledge.
