This book is attractive for its lovely presentation where the detail of each each device has a 3-view. Where the shoe pinches is when we will start searching for a device like the legendary Piper Cub J3. Absent. Piper family representatives newer devices like the Aztec or Cherokee Tomahawk, but none J2, J3, L-4H, J5, PA-11, PA-15, PA-17, PA-18 Ni his ancestor Taylor Chummy B2.
The more incomprehensible is the lack of J3 is a plane that has marked the history of aviation and the aircraft is probably the most copied and most reproduced for over 70 years through numerous aftershocks.
Contacted, the author Patrick Facon explained that this device did not seem important enough to appear in a constrained format (sic! 462 pages!) So Arnaud Beinat in his book "Fifty famous aircraft" made him a place in the sun its 112 pages. As for André Bréant, he dedicated a good book.
We inevitably begins to wonder what other kind of dark section was operated by this strange historian of aviation in this "Great Aviation Atlas", which probably has the large format, not exhaustive
