Book Description
Aerobatics began with the very birth of mechanical flight, when the Wright brothers realized that man must fly as birds do; not straight and level, but in banked curves: climbing, diving, turning, zooming and rolling. The enthralling aerobatic display of today is the result of an adventure of discovery that has lasted over 80 years. This book is the story of this adventure.

Book Description
"If man were meant to fly, he'd have wings." Luckily, the intrepid pioneers of aviation didn't let that little detail stop them. Dedicated to the history of human flight, this richly illustrated retrospective spans centuries of innovation from the drawings of DaVinci to the daring deeds of John Glenn. Strap yourself in for a thrilling, sometimes bumpy ride as the uncertain attempts of the medieval period give way to the excitement of the Wright Brothers' advances and eventually the sophistication of the Space Shuttle. Whether warplanes, transport and tourism crafts, acrobatic machines, seaplanes or helicopters capture your imagination, you'll find every type of aircraft described in vivid detail. Marvel as technology leads to the development of convertiplanes, 21st century superfighters, and the controversial Concorde. You'll even glimpse the future of air travel with prototypes of commercial airliners yet to be produced by Airbus and Boeing.

Ten Chapters marking history through Postwar. --Amazon.
