when my dad was a tween. During WWII he used to lie on the ground just outside the Ottawa air base and sketch the fighter jets the soldiers were training to recognize by sound. The Rockcliffe airbase had one of everything including German planes at the time. It was a mile from his home. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of the book you suggest.
