Might be a good idea for Bob to jump in here and give us the ordering info....??

Joking aside, it is a quality book filled with unbelievable reference info and photos!

Now if Rocketeer will publish a book full of his vast collection of 3A photos........

Bob is the 3A book a revised edition? I have greatly enjoyed my copy of the 3A book.

The book has not been revised. The first printing books had a typo on page 91 and that was corrected in the second printing.

Since the book was printed a few more CJ-3A details have been uncovered, but the facts presented in the book are still valid.
Thanks for your support!
