Saw a copy at Duxford last September but it was whipped away from under my nose by a member of the 'Sally B' team....

No mistake this time - arrived at Duxford early on Saturday morning and that excellent dealer Derek Vanstone had a reasonably-priced copy ; which I'm reading right now.
Just bought this in a charity shop for £3.50.
I don't really know anything about aircraft books but something about it, even on first spotting the spine (amongst the usual dross), seemed 'proper'... the book hunting instinct is a very strange thing.

Looks very readable too, loads of great photos.
(I do hope this isn't another expensive theme developing, the tank books are bad enough. )

Cheers,
Adam.
