4.0 out of 5 stars
Book was good, but not as great as I had hoped for.,
By Sgt. Disney "sgtdisney" (Chicago burbs USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Early American Jetliners: Boeing 707, Douglas DC-8 & Convair 880 (Paperback)
It may have been that my expectations were a little too high. After all, this is one book dealing with 3 different types of airliners. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret my purchase, and I would buy it again, but it isn't exactly what I had hoped for. The section on the Convair airliners was very short, but maybe that is to be expected since there not not many of that type made. Overall a good book, but not one of the best.
