Re: Savoia-Marchetti S.79 Sparviero 1934-1947. From Airliner and Record-Breaker to Bomber and Torpedo-Bomber 1934.

Stig: the Sparviero book has 288 pages. assuming 500 illustrations, that is about 1.74 photos per page. Very pictorial indeed. Or not. For comparison: Chris Goss's Do 17 book has 304 pages and over 700 photos (as per publisher's info) and the Do 217 by the same author has 184 pages and "300-400" photos. The masive "Battle of France Then and Now", a book known for thoroughness, has 592 pages and over 900 illustrations. To be frank, I seriously suspect that AMC has not read the book through and/or compared the amount of text to the amount of illustrations by actually doing any math.
