4.5. Interesting read

[Len Knighton · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful book of pictures and text telling the history of flight. As one who grew up during the early years of the space program, the book brought back memories of watching the Mercury flights on television in my elementary school classroom.
I also applaud the correct spelling of President Harry Truman's middle name. It is an S without a period.
