Considering that this booklet is over twenty years old it's held up quite well and is still worth reading. That such is the case is mostly due to the author going out of their way to debunk some of the war-time propaganda that touted the Sunderland, and is honest about its limitations. About the only point that I stubbed a metaphorical toe on was when Lake was a bit too jocular about how bad canned food would get you a woman for the night in Madagascar in 1943, not thinking that there was war-induced famine in British-controlled Africa too.
