The photos are so smallBy QQQThe photos in this photo diary is quite small - usually put three in half page; and the text is so big for those small photos. -> It not so comfortable to read a book in this layout.Also; most photos are not sharp.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. A Great Pictorial of the B-29 SuperfortressBy NISIn few words; a great summary of one of the great bombers of WW-2. This book explains; depicts and glorifies the plane and its crews from WW-2 to Korea. A perfect gift for B-29 fans!
