Kenneth D. Roberts: ''Wooden Planes in Nineteenth Century America, Vol. 2''  '''ISBN-10 0913602531''' This book isn't an update of Vol. 1, it contains all new information. I consider it essential because it details the tools and processes used by the H. Chapin company and Solon Rust to make planes. The section on planemaking alone is worth the cost.
