I have just reached the point of despair! It seems that every positive comment has to have a negative one to drag it down! I have not read a single book, aviation or otherwise that is without a spelling mistake or grammatical error. I’ve even seen material recently that has an error on the cover! For christ sake, 180,000 words the odd error is going to creep in. Stop slagging other peoples work off.

😡

Sorry didn’t mean to upset anyone, but just some of the spelling mistakes, particulary of place names, will be misleading to anyone using the book for research. It is an excellent book, but with a little more care, it would be exceptional. The spelling comments in no way are a reflection of the authors work, more of the proof reader at the publishers.
