Reviews for The Hurricane Story
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
3/5
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A nice little book about the Hawker Hurricane. Very good 'coffee table book' for those of us without large coffee tables. Good photographs in a nice mix of restored planes in colour and vintage black-and-white ones. Very 'modern' in appearance. Did you know? all over the book, offering much insight. Ideal for youngsters to use for an essay about the airplane.
