Great book! Very informative.
Nice book
it (the book) keeps spelling airplane wrong but it was a good book i would give it a 4 out of 5 rating. ;-; sorry I just love it
It’s UK English, which FKB thinks is correct English since English is from England, but you are absolutely right, in the USA aeroplane is spelled airplane. I am glad you loved it despite the differences.
