Ordered one up. Thanks for the tip!

Did anyone else buy this book? After calling a Curtiss a Cirrus twice in the first few pages I almost threw it out the window

Haven't received mine yet (it's been a while...) but a friend got one, and discovered a picture of his C-180 in it, so that was neat to hear. Hoping it shows up soon.

Don't be too hasty, seems like I remember a Cirrus biplane.

Seriously?

A Cirrus Puss Moth??? I think they meant Curtiss, but that would still be incorrect... I'm no history buff, but that seems a little obvious

Great timing- it just showed up in the mail about an hour after that post. Haven't delved into the writing yet, but the pictures alone are worth the $10 sale price.

Well, it is reassuring that you guys got your orders.
I got a teensy bit carried away and ordered that plus several other books and videos, and don't remember which CC I put it on, sooo...
I hated to spend the effort to see if it had been posted to a CC yet. I'll relax.
Calm down.
Wait (sorta) patiently.....

THX for the update, fellas.....
