Reviews

Highly recommended reading, and a must for your aviation reference library.-- "Sportsman's Pilot" (11/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)

A must for anyone interested in one of North America's finest aircraft. Highly recommended.--Ed Kinney "IPMS" (8/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)

Dan Hagedorn's book should satisfy anyone who is interested in the T-6 and its variants.-- "Model Aviation Magazine" (2/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)

Good writing, bright crisp reproduction, excellent paper - what more could one want.-- "Air Classics" (9/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)

No other volume distills the remarkable T-6/Harvard into such a convenient compendium. Dan Hagedorn and Specialty Press have undeniably produced the definitive handbook of this legendary design.--David Veres "Model Aircraft Monthly" (6/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)

Overall, this is an excellent book on the T-6, and probably the best history of the production of the type.--Chris Banyai-Riepl "Internet Modeler" (8/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)

This book is the best of both worlds: all the vital facts and all the interesting ones.--Walter J. Boyne "Aviation History" (3/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)

This is a high subject to cover, but the author has done a very good job and packed every page with a mass of information. Coupled with all the images and manual extracts and diagrams it is a must for anyone interested in the AT-6/T-6 series.-- "Model Airplane International" (12/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)

This is not one of those titles that will linger on the shelves to gather dust, but one that will be read and re-read many times. It would be a bit of an understatement to say that this is a book that I highly recommend. If you are a fan of the T-6, you simply must have this one. It is that good.--Scott Van Aken "Modeling Madness" (6/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)

This title literally claims to be the definitive title on the T-6 and I'd have to say that once again Specialty Press lives up to the title. Like other titles from this publisher it leaves little out and is presentated in a format that makes reading it a pleasure and not a chore like some other titles I have read already.--Al Bowie "Hyperscale" (6/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)
