I bought this book as a gift for my father and it was a hit. Everyone liked looking at the pictures and I was impressed with the quality of the book binding and paper. (It looks like an old textbook style) This book will be a conversation piece for years to come! There are so many unique pictures inside. A perfect choice for any aviation enthusiast!

I love all things aeronautics. Airplanes, Helicopters, Gliders, Parachutes, if it’s airborne, I’m interested. I have no idea where I get it from either. This book is amazing for an airplane lover like me. It has everything, and I mean everything, from the start of air-time to now. The photos accompanying the paragraphs about where the plane came from, really give you a sense of looking back in time. I had a couple, “Whoa!”, moments when reading. I think people of all ages will enjoy this. Of course you do need a slight fascination for the obvious, airplanes, but it pulls in the smallest adorer.

Very beautiful book. I think my father, who has been a pilot for nearly 50 years will greatly enjoy this. 4 stars instead of 5 because I would have liked the overall size of the book to be larger.

This book was grossly over-priced. The “color” encyclopedia would imply the book to be in color. The book was very small and black and white for a $50 charge
