Description
ABOUT THIS BOOK
This, I hope, is an aviation history with a difference. The important dates, facts and figures that one expects to find in such a book are here, but an attempt has been made to put them into fresh perspective. Every fact in this book is founded on the very latest research, ... ( ... ) Some persistent errors in recorded history are corrected for the first time, such as the identity of the first jet - fighter used in action in the Second World War.
( ... ) Biggest difference of all between this aviation history and others is that the reader is faced repeatedly with the question " Is this the kind of flying about which the pioneers dreamed for so many years ? In fact, is it flying at all ? " The answer may be that only the amateur in his ultra - light home - built aeroplane and the glider pilot really know what it is to fly.
