"The World's Worst Aircraft"

The World's Worst Aircraft: From Pioneering Failures to Multimillion Dollar Disasters (Jim Winchester)

At last, the stunning finale to the trilogy! You won't believe what happens to your favorite characters from "The World's Worst Cars" and "The World's Worst Weapons!"
No, I'm lying; It's just another book, which is about (checks title) bad airplanes. I don't know a lot about airplanes, so I was more interested in the parade of unbelievable disasters from the wild and wooly teens and twenties, where putting eight wings and sixteen motors on a houseboat looks comparatively sane. As for the rest of the book, well, it's an interesting bathroom book, and I wasn't expecting or asking for more than that.

Grade: B
