Too Small

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Buyer beware, I should have checked the dimensions of this book. It's a pocket book, not a full size book. For its size, it has good summary of this famous and important fighter. If all you wanted was a very short summary, with a few pictures (some good color photos, mostly in Battle of Britain color schemes), then the book is ok. For serious collectors, it is not a worthwhile purchase.
