Authoritative reference on German WWII military aircraft; as it is probably the best volume available on the aircraft of this time in history.

Awesome ReadBy Customer KeithHave done informal fresh water sailing was familiar with some of the terms. Was able in a small way to experience the wind waves of a sailing vessel. This book helped me to appreciate what real sailing was about. A very informative enjoyable read. Highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Real life on the seaBy jacksonA fantastic telling of the two years in a young person's life that turns him from a book-bound softy to a man's man. You have to get used to searching for the meaning of the true nautical terms in this world of the square-rigger; but it is worth the effort. It's a time when California is a foreign country; as uncivilized as darkest Africa (not Hollywood); and Cape Horn is as forbidding as the moon. Life is cheap in this world where the Captain has full power over everyone. This is all real--not fiction. Knowing that the author actually experienced the brutal years he describes is essential to fully appreciating this mesmerizing tale.
