  Review:
GOKHAN PAMUK "pamukg" (ISTANBUL, TURKEY Turkey)
"Wings Over Istanbul" is about some historical aviation moments in time; but it's not an "aviation history" book. Life and memories of a pioneer aviator which is famous with his nonstop "world record" flight from New York to Istanbul in the first decades of the century... And of course with a plane unlike the current engineering wonders. Despite reflecting a long cross-section after a couple of years of the famous "first flight" by Wright Brothers, it's more emotional than a history book but more historical than a "remembrance" book. Simply it's a "love story" between the human beings and planes. Technically. Amazing moments, sadly aviation martyrs, step by step improvements and a crowning "world record"... Very enjoyable reading for those who love to visit the aviation milestones one by one.
