This book conveys the stories of more than a dozen pilots who have devoted a great portion of their lives to the preservation of aircraft that have been in their families for decades. This collection of stories highlights each familyÕs participation in flying, maintaining, and restoring these airplanesÑin many cases, as they passed from one generation to the next. These airplanes range from antique to experimental and some of them were even designed and built by family members, including Skeeter, The Girlfriend, The Yellow Rat, and Sweet Patootie. The author spent many hours on the flight line with virtually all of these pilots, and discovered that they are not only safeguarding and perpetuating our aviation historyÑtheyÕre having fun while doing so! Foreword by Norm Goyer, Pilot, Editor, and Author.

Far from enthralling, but I did learn
Format: Paperback
This book was a disappointment. It looked like exactly what I was looking for: an overview of the history, society, and culture of Egypt from ancient to modern times that wasn't 500+ pages long. I did learn a fair bit of information, but unfortunately, the book is far from "enthralling." It reads like a high school student's book report. In addition, it sometimes just throws terms out there with no explanation, and I found myself having to consult Google. For example, it says "Since hieroglyphs were difficult to create, the Egyptians developed hieretic writing, which was a type of cursive script. Later, demotic writing was developed for ordinary documents." What is demotic writing? How is it different from hieretic? The book doesn't even provide a picture. I had to go to Wikipedia to find out what these things are. This book needs slightly more detail and an author with better writing style / storytelling abilities. That said, it still may be the best short introduction available.

Recommended read by tour guide to Egypt
Format: Paperback
Very good history book of Egypt in non-complicated terms. I wish there were more pictures and maps to add to the descriptions in the book. Read this as it was recommended by our tour guide to Egypt in April

The writers at Enthralling History have put together a well written, easy to read book on Egyptian history that will capture your attention and keep you reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
