As grandson of groundcrew of DeHavilland's wooden wonder, this backs up tales of exploits, the great thing being a section on groundcrew and servicing u der war time conditions. A fascinating read if, like me, you close to every other publication on the DH98, or, if you've been vaguely interested, and want to start looking deeper, the bibliography is extensive. A well researched book, I did notice a couple of errors in a very small number of photo captions, but overall, a very good book. Delivered next day, so no problems there.
