''...The areas covered are successively; a general Walkaround, followed by the tail hook details, the wings details, the flaps details, the Wings folding system, the main undercarriage, the tail wheel well, the canopy exterior area, the interior Details, the gun-ner/radio compartment, the turret details, the bomb bay, the engine details. The aircraft what give us such interesting details are a US museum aircraft and one of the flying Avenger around the World, based in France, which appeared in European displays. The quality of pictures is excellent, no dark area or blinking flash (the authors work on open air, during sunny days). Along these pics, b/w diagrams also clarify some areas which are visible on models, like the cockpit, but also the interior of the rear gunner. Really these reprint is the best value on the subject. At the end , 6 profile/3D color profiles show the different dresses worn, with 2 amazing after war employees, a cropsprayer and a fire fighter. The cherry on the cake is the detachable 1/72 and 1/48 drawings of the TBF/TBM-1 TBM-3E versions with a detailed profile inside cutaway, and b/w pictures around to highlight the riveted skin. A highly recommended reissue to detail your 3 favorite scale aircrafts, with the last big 1/32 Trumpeter...''
