Description
GREAT AIRCRAFT By Norman Macmillan Wing Commander Norman Macmillan, noted author of Great Airmen, pauses at a dramatic moment in the development of aircraft, to cast a backward glance at the great craft that have made aviation history. Although the past of practical aircraft is brief, the achievements have been incredibly prodigious and awe-inspiring. With the respect and reverence of a lifetime's devotion, Wing Commander Macmillan traces the development of the world's great aircraft and the men who flew and made them, from the Wright Brothers' early `Flyer', considered the Adam of aircraft, through the Camel of World War I fame, the Vimy, the Spitfire VB, the great Super-fortress, and the tragedy of the de Havilland Comet I, that opened up the jet age. An intensely readable book, filled with the colour and excitement of brilliant achievement.
