Description
This pictorial volume, based on the successful German aviation history magazine FLUG REVUE, portrays the most influential designs in the more than eighty-year history of aviation. In chronological order, thirty-seven pioneering developments pass in review, from the "Flyer" of the Wright Brothers in 1903, through the jet-powered Heinkel He 178 in 1939, to the supersonic British/French "Concorde" airliner in 1969.
Presented is the history, technology and development of each type, including dates and facts for prototypes, production models, export models and one-types. The many photos — 16 in color — and the precise three-way drawings with information on camouflage paint designs make it a superb technical tool for aircraft enthusiasts, historians and model builders.
