Description
From the primary prototypes of flying machines to lately’s supersonic jets, the history and roles of aircraft are explored on this beautifully illustrated guide.
Aviation enthusiasts of all stripes and ages will welcome learning more about key brands and massive players from the day before today and lately — whether it is the marvels of hot air balloons or the unbelievable engines of Boeing, Lockheed, and more.
Planes are divided equally between military and commercial aircraft, and iconic aircraft of every era, such because the Supermarine Spitfire and Concorde, are showcased in beautifully photographed spreads with “virtual tours” that reveal the anatomy of those legendary planes.
