Reviews

[Zayneea · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just picked this book up because I liked the photos in it. I didn't actually read i as not too interested in learning about The Spitfire right now, but I may borrow it again in future when I decide I do want to know about the aircraft as this book is full of a lot of information alongside all the images. Maybe when I read it I may change my rating from 4 to 5.
