This superbly illustrated work comprises two books in one; an all-colour survey of aircraft development and an outline of aviation technology with detailed technical line drawings. The historical survey takes the reader from the origins of flight, through the progress of the industry during the two World Wars to the latest in military and civil aircraft. The technological survey goes back to first principles. It carefully and clearly explains the principles of flight and how technical innovations in engines, frames and navigational aids made aviation more and more efficient.
An international reference section details the specifications of 64 watershed aircraft in aviation history.
