The big book of flight / Flight Aeronautics Flying-machines
White, Rowland,
The big book of flight / Rowland White. - 320 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 26 cm.
AIRCRAFT: GENERAL INTEREST. Have you ever dreamed about flying? Thought so. The story of our ambition to join the birds is as old as we are: the lure of the impossible challenge, the deep-rooted thrill of excitement, the desire to feel free...And even if they haven't always been elegant and smooth, our efforts have been dangerous, exciting, unexpected, spectacular, courageous or just plain brilliant. "The Big Book of Flight" is a celebration of them all, and a lot more besides, packed with derring-do stories of aviation pioneers as well as fascinating profiles of remarkable planes (and other wondrous projects that never quite got off the drawing board).
