Each spread in this volume focuses on a particular display at the museum. Each item played an important role in aerospace history, though there is no sense of direction as to the order of presentation. Sidebars and text boxes add detail to the main text, as do numerous photographs, which give a preview of what you would see at the museum. Reading list. Glos., ind.
