This book contains A LOT of information! Jef Boutin Very detailed book! I bought it to use as a reference to build the old Hawk kit, and while it was helpful, it was also a little overkill for my use. This book contains A LOT of information.

Great book with lovely pictures and a lot of information about thePlane itself, nicely divided into easy to read chapters.
