[Chris Tschirhart]

I have had this book for over 35 years I still find basic things in it I never knew each time I look at it and I have been in aviation for 35 years. This book is a classic and I understand there is a new updated version. I highly recommend this book.

Treasure trove for anyone with the slightest interest in aviation

A book for true plane nerds and those passionate about aviation. This book beautifully shows the evolution of flight dating back to the early pioneers to today’s modern marvels and is a reminder of all the historical aeronautical milestones that have happened throughout the years.
