This is the first of a new series of books by Specialty Press (the
next is on F-Units. They are more well known for their
airplan-related books - RaceplaneTech; WarbirdTech;AirlinerTech. In
this book, they go over the first Zephyrs as well as the Flying
Yankee - the first Zephyrs in this case meaning up to the Silver
Charger and the General Pershing Zephyr. Lots of color photos, lots
of detail photos (old and new), I think it complements existing books
well. A lot of the photos come from the BRHS, DPL, Dave Lotz and the
BNSF 0 not sure how many of the vintage photos are going to be new or
non-published. It's a soft cover book of 112 pages and over 215 photos.
I am somewhat disappointed at the choice of the title and the
coverage selection (either indicate what's covered in the title or
cover what's indicated in the title), but that is a minor nit to
pick. Lots of good photos taken during the restoration of the
Pioneer Zephyr, which are a good addition.
