The book is heavily illustrated by both black & white and colour photographs and plenty of diagrams. These are often rare and unseen and will delight propliner fans... a fascinating story of an amazing aircraft.

Airport Spotting
This was a very different kind of book than what I normally read. Dick Kirby writes an interesting book about crooks, police corruption and how the public really have no idea of what really goes on in the force. There were several brave cops who ended up taking down a dirty criminal and his gang, through hard work, frustration and patience that they would eventually lead them to bringing him down. Must have been really tough for these police, especially knowing there was so much corruption in their own ranks. In many ways an eye opener of a book and one that I will remember for a long time, raw and at times hard to understand that what was happening was real life. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the way policing and crime coincide.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars VOTE FOR WOMEN? PREPOSTEROUS!! At least, so believed the government and many men of the day. In many a backward place, women have been second-class citizens for centuries untold, but they kept their peace, until...Enter the Suffragettes! This book takes a fascinating look at the almost 100 year battle to achieve the right for women to vote on equal basis as men. The campaign, Vote for Women, raged throughout the United Kingdom, propelled by courageous, determined and self-sacrificing women who had had enough of all the injustices perpetuated towards women. The voting right realized would be symbolic towards bringing about the necessary changes. Among the women who upheld this cause was the plucky, intrepid Edith Rigby. This biography of her role in this fight is representative of many like her who endured arrest, police brutality and abuse within the prison systems. This "crusade" towards equality with men continues to this day as author Beverley Adams spells.. Read more
