Reviews for Triplane to Typhoon

Triplane to Typhoon was Aeroplane Monthly magazine's 'Book of the Month' for June 2006.

'Lancashire County Council is to be congratulated on publishing this comprehensive book on aircraft produced by factories in Lancashire and North West England since 1910...This is an extremely useful and well-produced book, and a credit to the author. Thanks should go to Lancashire County Council for sponsoring its publication to promote the county's aerospace industry.'

(Aeroplane is the leading aviation heritage magazine, with worldwide circulation and a lineage traceable back to the weekly The Aeroplane, founded in 1911.)

'The very well-written text does the subject justice, telling the story of the companies, aircraft types and factories in much detail...there are some fine photos.'
(Aircraft Illustrated, February 2006.)

'...well written, lavishly illustrated in both black and white and colour. Appendices list all aircraft types produced, and timelines showing when and where. An excellent reference book and well worth the money.'
(Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust, February 2006.)

'Every sentence in this book is loaded with information, be it historical, technical or political...Triplane to Typhoon provides an outstanding, self-contained compilation of the entire history so far of aeronautics in Lancashire and the North West...this book should prove to be today's best single reference.'
(Royal Aeronautical Society, Preston Branch, February 2006.)

 

'...an absolute tour de force...a brilliant book detailing all the aircraft manufacturers in the North West and their products with superb photographs - both monochrome and colour...The book is worth far more than its selling price...'
