Reviews
Bought this gift for a friend who turned 90 in Alaska. He flew a PA12 for roughly 50 years. IT was a great hit. At 90 your really not in an accumulation phase anymore so had a hard time coming up with a gift. This idea was spot on and I appreciate your expedite service as it arrive to me the day before I flew out to Alaska where he lived.
VERY well done book, am now on the second reading!
