And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Its a great book. I really like the chapter on the Wasp Major engine. Wife doesn't dare growl about my book buying and I buy a lot of books. Another favorite is V's for Victory about the Alison 1710. I recall it being about twice the price of Magnesium Overcast.
I got the softcover at the USAF Museum in Dayton, along with two others in the series, Valkyrie and Hypersonic (X15). Big snowstorm in progress here at the moment. Might be a good night to curl up with a hot drink and a blu-ray of Strategic Air Command.
Be careful about paperback versions from Amazon. Some times they simply lower resolution photocopied versions on poor quality paper. Got an SR-71 book that was interesting but poorly photocopied. Buyer beware.
I have the hard copy, purchased before marriage of course.

I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of that on BluRay, it’s glorious!
DeleteDow chemical must have made a fortune supplying the magnesium.
