Re: Spitfire - Return to Flight by Brendon Deere - A Review

And what age and social groups are such "polls" likely to appeal? Those that arenīt far from the braindead teenage girls group I mentioned or those who are actually prepared to spend some cash to READ a specialist book? It is very interesting to note that e.g. the once excellent Aeroplane Monthly magazine (excellent as long as Richard Riding was at the helm) has plummeted in quality to an alltime low while the magazineīs design has been taken over by someone whose talents appeal to the previously mentioned teenage crowd.

I have heard various excuses why ragged right has been used. One most hilarious was that this way they could avoid hyphenation. British literacy must be something not to be proud of if hyphenation needs to be avoided.
