I bought the paper copy so it would be prominent in my bookshelf in memory of the MB Mk 4s I had strapped into over the years.

Great book. I'd loved to get more technical detail but understand you have to balance. Lots of stories I had never heard of before. Goes with my 'Man in the Hot Seat' by Doddy Hays.
