I have to second Kjetil's comments on the line drawings, which came as a very pleasant surprise. Reminds me of a similar surprise when I opened Pilawski's opus.

These detailed line drawings alone in Dragons warrant a purchase, especially to people with an interest in Yak-fighters.

Good profiles are becoming more common, but line drawings are a different case. I really do hope that Aviaeology will include such (extra) material in their future publications. The draftsman in question did an excellent job!
