Many of us have an interest in philately and especially aviation philately and this books is just excellent. It’s well written, authoritative and has wide coverage with beautiful plates showing stamps with an aviation theme from across the globe.
Highly recommended.

The text is extremely readable, almost conversational, and will probably end up being dipped into rather than read cover to cover. Some of the makers stories have the authors personal reminiscences included. Many manufacturers, large and small** are covered in the text, with all the well known names amongst the lesser known. All sizes are covered including wargame figures and large scale plastic kits such as those from Airfix and Aurora. Even the terracotta warriors get a mention in passing... I can really recommend that anyone who enjoys toy/model soldier history should get a copy for their shelves.
