- The nice thing here is that in addition to the 5 pp of maps of various sorts of air service, there’s a lot of data–for example, there’s a chronology section (in small print) that is really rather good; there are also graphs of bits of aviation history, as well as an illustrated sheet on different varieties of airplane maneuvers. Quite nice, really.
