[Mark Moxley-Knapp · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really nice history of Piper, from the Taylor beginnings to roughly 2000. Covers the personalities, business details, and every variant of every plane, including some that never flew. Lots of black and white photos, lots of appendices with more info. Well-written, and full of interesting stories and facts.
