Nice summary of an amazing airplane
My father was an engineer at North American for almost 30 years and spent several years on this incredible plane. It was before my time, so I wasn't able to witness it, but he did take my sisters to a roll-out of it (I got to see the Shuttle Enterprise, so I guess that's not a bad trade-off). It was an amazing craft and I'm so proud of my Dad's contributions to it. Recently, I got nostalgic about him (he passed two years ago) and wanted to learn more about his career and the various aerospace projects of which he was a part. This book is short but pretty well compiled, with lots of pictures I hadn't seen before. It was a great read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
