Description
A major early-1960s edition of the world’s most authoritative aviation reference work, documenting global aerospace development at the height of the Cold War and the rapid expansion of jet aviation.
The 1960–61 edition reflects the transition from first-generation jet aircraft to increasingly sophisticated supersonic military aviation, rotary-wing development, VTOL experimentation and modern commercial air transport.
This volume contains:
- detailed aircraft specifications,
- manufacturer histories,
- technical diagrams,
- performance tables,
- prototype and experimental aircraft documentation,
- and international aviation industry surveys.
The edition is especially notable for its coverage of:
- Bell VTOL and experimental aircraft,
- Agusta helicopter developments,
- Radioplane unmanned aerial targets,

- and worldwide aerospace manufacturers.
The inclusion of Belgian and South American aviation sections adds particular interest for European collectors and historians.
