Reviews for From Jet Provost to Strikemaster: A Definitive History of the Basic and Counter-Insurgent Aircraft at Home and Overseas
At a time when some aviation books are still laid out in a way that would have looked dated 30 years ago, the design is extremely modern without being fussy, and the paper quality is excellent... The text generally reads well, and is very comprehensive in its treatment of these illustrious British aircraft.
