Customer Reviews
A great book with great features
With this new release from MMP, you get Alex Crawford's authoritative text and a great deal more. The iPad edition of the book comes with some excellent features that make full use of the technology available. These include the ability to switch between different photographs on the page, 3D diagrams of the aircraft's internal structure that can be viewed from any angle, and drawings with switchable captions. The comprehensive photos and colour profiles are as good as ever. An essential read for fans of the characteristic 1930s biplane, and an exciting development in the ibook format. Thoroughly recommended.
