I consider this the best 880/990 book written in the past two decades. It is inclusive with the good, bad and the ugly. The author probably overemphasizes the corporate mistakes. The aircraft is also criticised more than a thoroughbred should be. However, the contributions in photography and interesting stories add up to a very positive account of an incredible jet. Some of the technicals are slightly in error. The wing sweep was almost 40 degrees, not thirtyfive. Also the color photo of an 880 flight deck is reversed. I bought two copies for myself.
