Review
"The book is very well illustrated with multiple clear and generally excellent diagrams and also with numerous fully relevant and up-to-date photographs. [...]as a classroom-type guide to the fundamentals of civil aircraft electronics, it does the job well for aspiring maintenance personnel."
