An illustrated history of airplanes from the days of the early aviators through the beginning of World War II. Discusses the pilots, their uniforms, famous planes, blimps, insignias, air races and circuses, passenger service, and many other related topics.
Offers charming illustrations, along with the basics of early aviation history. I often like to start my research with children's books, since they present a broad overview, simply stated. Can't say I learned bunches here, but it did provide a nice stone in the foundation.
