A tool box encyclopedia
- By James from Wichita KS USA on Tuesday, March 21, 2017
- Pros: no micro text too small to read
- Review: It isn't a parts catalog, it is a textbook that fits a drawer in your tool bench. It isn't a materials specification. Anyone who works on aircraft or aircraft parts will find lots of answers.

Excellent replacement after 20 years
- By Rupe from Lugoff, SC USA on Tuesday, May 01, 2012
- Pros: Spiral binding
- Review: My last copy of this volume was dog-eared and coming apart. But the MAIN reason I bought a new one was because of outdated info (Mine listed the USSR, East AND West Germany, etc. in the national registration list). The spiral binding of the newer volume makes it easier to thumb through and to fold open to the required page, Still an excellent reference, and now I have all the nations listed!

Q: Would you recommend for reconstructing an older helicopter as a hobby? Would this book be helpful? If not, do you have any gift suggestions?
A: Yes, absolutely this would be an appropriate gift for him. This has been a "must have" standard handbook for any involved in aviation maintenance for many years. The other title I might suggest, is a BIG book (834 pages) called Aircraft Inspection, Repair & Alterations.
