Synopsis
Discover some of the finest aircrafts ever made and understand the technological advancements that have spurred new innovations, from the Wright brothers to the modern era., Our landscape format Encyclopedia series in the 12 x 9 1/4 trim size have been so popular that we have created a more portable format for those who are interested in a smaller paperback edition. Beautifully illustrated throughout in full color. A great value and perfectly sized for gift giving., Which are the finest aircraft ever to have flown? The finest military aircraft, the finest airliners, the finest planes of today, and yesterday? This book answers these questions comprehensively, and with photographs and illustrations which help convey just what is so special about each aircraft. Over 250 of the world's most important, influential aircraft, from the first powered aircraft, the Wright Brother's 'Flyer' to Northrop's highly advanced B-2 stealth bomber. Commercial aircraft such as the Douglas DC-3 Dakota and the new A380 double decker Airbus, are detailed as are many of the classic fighters and bombers from World War II, such as the Supermarine Spitfire, North American P-51 Mustang and Boeing B-17 Fortress. All the essential detail is here. Fascinating histories of the design, development, manufacture, and service life of each aircraft are accompanied by a technical specification highlighting on its most important variants. Each is illustrated by a large and detailed color side view artwork, a three-view general arrangement line drawing, and supported with additional photographs.

    Item as described. Well packaged and good price. Late arriving due to USPS shipping it to wrong sorting center. Address label had correct information. Not seller's fault.

    The item was delivered safe and sound. Great transaction! Thank you so much! Would order again! I do have one suggestion, though. The item was packaged in a padded envelope which normally would be fine, but this item has a 3-prong plug and the plug had broken through the packaging and was sticking out as in the attached photo. The item was not damaged in any way, but you may need to modify the packaging for these types of items.
