Great close up photos of replica planes and everything you would want to know with accompanying photographs. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars This series is starting to lose me *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2017* 2017 has been a weird year for Haynes. They've published some very fine "manuals" (the ones on the Mercury spacecraft and Cassini being standouts) but I'm getting kind of a "meh" feeling from their recent output. Until recently this series was much more technically and mechanically oriented. Lately, they've been cutting back on the "nerdy" material and replacing it with an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach, which is much less satisfying.First, the good stuff. This book features some interesting technical material, including a fairly in-depth discussion of the aircraft's development. There are some interesting first-hand accounts of flying the aircraft, along with step-by-step instructions on building and rigging the plane. There's even a lengthy report on a captured Hispano-Suiza V8 engine which was written in Germany in 1917. The color photographs of surviving S.E.5s and modern replicas, and of aircraft undergoing restoration, are outstanding and sure to please modelers.Unfortunately, there's an awful lot of padding and potted history here of limited value in a "workshop manual." A quick perusal reveals biographies of famous aces, a lengthy overview of what life was like on a WWI airfield, a history of a postwar skywriting operation, a five-page glossary of period airman's slang, and even a recipe for Albert Ball's favorite cake! Only about two-fifths of this book focuses solely on the S.E.5; the rest is mostly ancillary material that doesn't really support the subtitle promising "insights into design, engineering, restoration, etc."Although Haynes' Sopwith Camel "manual" had some flaws, it was definitely a more well-rounded and in-depth technical study than this one. Despite having some interesting parts, there's simply too much fluff in this one to seriously recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars like the recipe for ripping bread *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 1, 2017* I esp. like the recipe for ripping bread! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/46904511-royal-aircraft-factory-s-e-5-1916-onwards-s-e](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/46904511-royal-aircraft-factory-s-e-5-1916-onwards-s-e) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
